RE:W3C Next Steps [was Re: [W3C Web Crypto WG] Rechartering discussion - Gemalto contribution]

(gemalto hat on)
Harry,
we will use the W3C Member Submission that if this helps progressing.
note that you should also take into account the support of other parties in that discussion.

(still gemalto hat on)
All,
that would be great that *W3C members* (or any company seriously envisaging a W3C membership option) clarifies their support, if not already done, to the principle of that proposal to help W3C office to weight the actual interest of that topic.
[Anders, we all know your opinion, you dont need to comment, I guess :)]

Objet : W3C Next Steps [was Re: [W3C Web Crypto WG] Rechartering discussion - Gemalto  contribution]

Virginie and Karen,

  Thanks for the concrete suggestion for what to do next. In fact - it's
the only new concrete proposal from a major vendor on the table for the
W3C since the workshop that we've had yet, with the possible exception
of the Microsoft+ETRI proposal at the WebCrypto F2F that hasn't been
formally discussed.

However, the proposal is still fundamentally slides, which is probably
the right format for this level of maturity. Once you have addressed the
concerns to the best of your ability, what would be useful would be a
draft spec or set of draft specs, even if very drafty. Github could be
useful as well for tracking concerns and comments.

The W3C Member Submission is a possibility here if there is any concern
about IPR in the proposed specs (which unfortunately did come up), and
we encourage both Gemalto and others such as the FIDO Alliance to use
this process:

http://www.w3.org/2004/02/Process-20040205/submission.html

Myself and Wendy are happy to help with the necessary formatting and
legal work.

Once we have a Member Submission we will do an internal review and try
to set-up a teleconference with relevant parts of the W3C staff. We also
of course are happy to extend this process to any alternate proposals
and would be delighted to have multiple member submissions, even if
incompatible. The W3C is committed to a fair process that includes all
members, although in general my preference to see some rough consensus
and at least one solid draft (i.e. Member Submission, product of a CG,
etc.) before committing to chartering a new Working Group. While this
may not have consensus, we've at least re-started the conversation in
earnest :)

While there was lots of disagreement on the technical details, I think
we all agree on the use-cases that some kind of hardware-backed
cryptographic material would enable need to be part of the Open Web
Platform.

   cheers,
      harry
