The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'Call for Review: Web Payments Working Group Charter' (Advisory Committee) for Mozilla Foundation by David Baron. The reviewer's organization suggests changes to this Charter, and only supports the proposal if the changes are adopted [Formal Objection]. Additional comments about the proposal: §1.2 states that the WG might develop "an encryption module for one or more payment methods"; however, WG members do not necessarily have the expertise to do this work. At the least, it would be helpful to mention the parties (e.g., Web Cryptography WG or Web Application Security WG) that will be consulted to ensure the security of any such encryption module. §1.3 suggests that work might happen around "the relationship of Payment Request API to EMVCo 3D Secure" (and in fact a 3DS Task Force has been spun up). Our very early impression is that such work might involve two-factor authentication methods that do not use a standardized technology such as what's being developed within the Web Authentication Working Group. If the outcome is that browsers need to support both a 3DS method and a Web Authentication method, we would be concerned about duplication of effort, architectural confusion, and differential security profiles. We'd prefer that these W3C working groups move in the direction of settling on one method for user identification and authentication. The reviewer's organization intends to participate in these groups: - Web Payments Working Group The reviewer's organization: - intends to review drafts as they are published and send comments. - intends to develop experimental implementations and send experience reports. - intends to develop products based on this work. Answers to this questionnaire can be set and changed at https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/wpwg-charter-201712/ until 2018-02-05. Regards, The Automatic WBS Mailer
