Request for clarification on the effects of missing sponsorships

Dear all,

I am writing this email to ask for some clarifications about the effects of a missing sponsorship for some STIX 2.1 objects.

From our last call, I understood that “Infrastructure” and “Course of Action” are at risk of being removed from the standard. In this regard, I was wondering about the fact that, while “infrastructure” is a new object, “Course of Action” was already introduced in STIX 2.0. If I do not see any technical issue in removing “Infrastructure” (besides the effort of going through the whole standard and ensuring integrity), would not the removal of “Course of Action” impact backward compatibility? As an alternative, could the missing sponsorship mean going back to the STIX 2.0 representation of “Course of Action”?

Best regards

Marco
