The editors met this week and are working on a number of issues ahead of IETF113. The issue tracker will have all of the details, including who’s been assigned to what topic. We’ve tried to add comments on each of these issues to give an idea of which direction we’re planning to go to resolve them. 

There are several issues that have been marked “Pending Close” since it seems that either the issue has been resolved by other work, or it’s no longer relevant due to changes in the spec since the issue was filed. These will be closed without changes after 1 week unless there’s significant push from the WG to do otherwise.

#49: AS Validation of RC-presented assertions
https://github.com/ietf-wg-gnap/gnap-core-protocol/issues/49 <https://github.com/ietf-wg-gnap/gnap-core-protocol/issues/49>

#77: Dynamic RC instance registration

#50: User identification items

#72: Separation of AS into delegation and interaction
https://github.com/ietf-wg-gnap/gnap-core-protocol/issues/72 <https://github.com/ietf-wg-gnap/gnap-core-protocol/issues/72>

Additionally, one additional issue been tagged as “Need Text”. These are items that need clearer direction and input from the working group to warrant a change to the specification text before they can affect anything. As is usually the case, many of these things seem like they might be good ideas, but it’s not clear that there’s a driving use case with enough detail to specify things at this time. These will remain open for now but the editors are not focusing any effort on addressing them at this time, and they may be marked Pending Close in the future if nobody steps up.

#44: Client attestation and posture
https://github.com/ietf-wg-gnap/gnap-core-protocol/issues/44 <https://github.com/ietf-wg-gnap/gnap-core-protocol/issues/44>
