Re: [id-cloud] Meetings in February (Use Case Discussion)

[Anil Saldhana <Anil.Saldhana@redhat.com>]

Hi Paul,
   your feedback resonates with what we have in the charter.  One of the 
primary goals of this TC (you are one of the proposers) has been to make 
sense of the landscape.

I strongly feel the TC is on track - we have been gathered a decent 
collection of use cases, touching all areas of Cloud IDM.  It is now up 
to the group to work on normalization to bring out a finished product. :)

Have a great weekend.

Regards,
Anil

In short, analysis is easier once you are sure you are comparing apples to apples within each use case and between use cases.

In addition, many "templated" use cases likely need help towards normalization (the template only does so much in providing guidance).
