As you can find in the enclosed proposed charter we want to take some limited time (about two IETF's) to carry the work on generic AAA forward in a research environment until it is ready to proceed as an engineering effort in the IETF AAA-WG. This does by no means imply that we want to get out of touch from the AAA-WG and we will specifically coordinate our long term work with the current short term activities in the WG. Please inform us for the next steps to take. Best regards, Cees. P.S. many people will get this message more than once, apologize for that, however, I feel that everybody should know of this effort and I can not be sure that everybody is on one or the other list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- RG according to [1]. 1.

Mailing list(s) To join the group one is kindly asked to mail the chairs. We do adopt a open mailing list, all discussions will be on the mailing list mentioned above.

Membership Policy Membership :== open (in any language) 5. Desciption of the Research Group A number of Internet Services require Authentication, Authorization, Accounting and Audit Support. The ietf AAA Working Group is chartered with defining short term requirements for a protocol that will support such services for NASREQ and MobileIP. The work of the ietf AAA group has shown that there are a number of areas where a AAA architecture would be helpful. This RG will work to define a next generation AAA architecture that incorporates a set of interconnected "generic" AAA servers and an application interface that allows Application Specific Modules access to AAA functions. The architecture's focus is to support AAA services that: - can inter-operate across organizational boundaries - are extensible yet common across a wide variety of Internet services - enables a concept of an AAA transaction spanning many stakeholders - provides application independent session management mechanisms - contains strong security mechanisms that be tuned to local policies - is a scalable to the size of the global Internet This activity grows from the work of the authorization team of the ietf AAA Working Group. The authorization team has proposed an "AAA Authorization Framework" [2] illustrated with numerous application examples [3] which in turn motivates a proposed list of authorization requirements [4]. This RG will build on the Authorization framework presented in [2] and the "generic" AAA Authorization Architecture presented in [5]. It will also draw on the work of the Policy Framework Working Group as well as security and accounting working groups. It will also work to provide a reasonable transition from existing AAA protocols and from any "interim" protocol approved by the AAA working group. This group will coordinate closely with the AAA-WG and will report in each IETF AAA-WG meeting. Specific goals of the RG are: - develop generic AAA model by specifically including Authentication and Accounting - develop auditability framework specification that allows the AAA system functions to be checked in a multi-organization environment - develop a model that supports management of a "mesh" of interconnected AAA Servers - describe interdomain issues using generic model - work with AAA WG to align short term AAA protocol requirements with long term requirements as much as possible - define distributed policy framework " coordinate with policy framework WG and others" - develop an accounting model that allows authorization to define the type of accounting processing required for each session. - implement a simulation model that allows experimentation with the the proposed architectural models - complete the work in Q3 - 2000 (ambitious) [1] Weinrib A, Postel J, "IRTF Research Group Guidelines and Procedures", RFC 2014, BCP 8, October 1996.

The setting up of the forum is sparked by the huge practical value and the unreadiness of the spatial location capability for the Internet. The missing capability becomes even more demanded with the integration of IP and various network technologies including cellular and mobile systems. The forum is thus set up after our discussions with the leaders and some other members of IETF. It serves as a pre-BOF mailing list for applying a BOF in 47th IETF to address those location issues. The detailed description can be found at 'http://www-nrc.nokia.com/ip-location'. Its immediate goals are: (1) Collect the interests, concerns, and suggestions on an IP spatial location protocol, (2) Identify the further requirements of the location protocol, (3) Seek partners and enthusiasts for the joint effort, (4) Invite volunteers for their presentations on the location issues, and (5) Prepare the BOF charter for the location protocol. In brief, there is now a well-evaluated concept in its pregnancy. Please add your own influences onto its progress. To subscribe to the list, just email 'majordomo@research.nokia.com' with 'subscribe ext-ip-location' in the mail body. To discuss , just email the mailing list 'ext-ip-location@research.nokia.com'. More information (detailed forum description, mailing list archive, etc.) can be found at the web page 'http://www-nrc.nokia.com/ip-location'. Thank you for reading this far! Please forward this mail to anyone else who may be interested. Please visit the forum's web page and contribute by sending email to the mailing list. Thanks again!
