Subject: RE: WebAuthn API Specification Review

Hello Anthony,

Thank you for this request. I have updated our review radar [1]. Can you please clarify by what dates you would like to receive comments? “Aiming for CR in September” is imprecise as a way for a horizontal group such as I18N to target doing reviews. If I use 1 September as a target date, we have only two weeks to read and comment on the spec, which is difficult for I18N WG to absorb without warning.

Thanks,

Addison

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.

Subject: WebAuthn API Specification Review


WebAuthn members and interested parties,



The WebAuthn WG recently published its FPWD and is aiming for CR in September and is asking for wide review of the specification.



This specification defines an API that enables web pages to access WebAuthn compliant strong cryptographic credentials through browser script.



http://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-webauthn-20160531/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.w3.org%2fTR%2f2016%2fWD-webauthn-20160531%2f&data=01%7c01%7ctonynad%40microsoft.com%7c0d4f59e3b93f4bfae40408d3c60bd735%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=%2btjdR6US61QjE1N1U%2bbS%2fla5Y4kEEvtltehRrESBhP8%3d>



If you wish to make comments regarding this document, please send them to public-webauthn@w3.org<mailto:public-webappsec@w3.org> with [public-webauthn] at the start of your email's subject. All comments are welcome.



Further sharing of this call for wide review among other interested communities is encouraged.



Thank you,



Richard Barnes and Anthony Nadalin
