KF I wonder if this is a useful observation. I havent heard anyone suggest that a HRPC section is required, only that it seems very
appropriate for this draft. So it might be appropriate to focus on why the section should be or should not be present in the context of how an implementer might consume the document. I don’t believe adding an HRPC section to draft-ietf-regext-verificationcode will assist the implementer in consuming the draft, but instead will add confusion. What makes it appropriate for this draft over other drafts? My recommendation is to focus on addressing any applicable technical elements raised, and as Scott recommended, raise the inclusion of an HRPC section in any draft up to the IETF. — JG James Gould Distinguished Engineer jgo...@verisign.com 703-948-3271 12061 Bluemont Way Reston, VA 20190 Verisign.com <http://verisigninc.com/> On 11/6/18, 11:31 PM, "regext on behalf of Kal Feher" <regext-boun...@ietf.org on behalf of i...@feherfamily.org> wrote: On 6/11/18 10:52 pm, Niels ten Oever wrote: > On 11/6/18 1:00 PM, Hollenbeck, Scott wrote: >>> On Nov 6, 2018, at 4:32 PM, Niels ten Oever <li...@digitaldissidents.org> wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>> On 11/6/18 9:59 AM, Hollenbeck, Scott wrote: >>>>> -----Original Message----- >>>>> From: Niels ten Oever <li...@digitaldissidents.org> >>>>> Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2018 3:36 AM >>>>> To: Hollenbeck, Scott <shollenb...@verisign.com>; 'regext@ietf.org' >>>>> <regext@ietf.org> >>>>> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [regext] "Considerations" Sections >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> On 11/6/18 9:22 AM, Hollenbeck, Scott wrote: >>>>>>> -----Original Message----- >>>>>>> From: regext <regext-boun...@ietf.org> On Behalf Of Niels ten Oever >>>>>>> Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2018 3:07 AM >>>>>>> To: regext@ietf.org >>>>>>> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [regext] "Considerations" Sections >>>>>>> >>>>>>>> On 11/06/2018 09:01 AM, Hollenbeck, Scott wrote: >>>>>>>> Following up on the in-room discussion regarding Human Rights >>>>>>>> Protocol >>>>>>> Considerations as compared to Security Considerations and other types >>>>>>> of considerations that appear in IETF documents: >>>>>>>> I mentioned at the mic that we don't have any documents representing >>>>>>> IETF consensus that provide guidance for writing human rights >>>>>>> protocol considerations.

It also does not mean that we MUST do it. As Jim Galvin noted, KF I wonder if this is a useful observation.

Then I think that it should be made clear on the Internet Draft as well. KF I have no opinion on the author vs editor debate, but I do wonder if there is any utility to continue the discussion on that point. There are those who object to including the HRPC section on the basis that the technology is agnostic and shouldnt be saddled with moral judgement. There are those who think the section is a good idea based on the impact to those whose data is being shared. I'd much prefer a debate on the relevant topics than document pedantry, which probably has its place on another list. > Best, > > Niels > -- Kal Feher Melbourne, Australia
