Subject: RE: [regrep] Issues with extramural Association
Although I have no official standing in this TC, as an observer and previous participant, I voice strong objection to this proposal. The argument that it is "...too much of a burden to keep up with..." is weak. I would not want someone to stake a claim to having some association to my company and force me to do something about it to keep that invisible. I think that acceptance of this proposal negates and undermines the entire purpose of associations. I strongly suggest that you look at this much more thoroughly and offer a more complete proposal for resolution. Maybe there is a way to make it easier on the users. e.g., Send a note/message to the target partner key contact when an assertion is made and offers a time limit for the response with a default state of deny.

The problem is that it is too much of a burden for parties to keep up with the confirmation task. Another problem is that hiding unconfirmed associations is difficult to implement and quite inefficient. I would like to propose that we make the following changes in V3 regarding Extramural Associations: -Extramural Associations that have not been confirmed must be visible to all and should not be invisible Note that anyone can still see the attributes isConfirmedBySourceOwner and isConfirmedByTargetOwner to determine the confirmation status and decide whether they trust this Association or not. The proposed change is quite simple to spec, will make the registry more user friendly and will also greatly simplify implementation. It can be done ijn a backward compatible way with no schema canges required. Please share your thoughts. -- Regards, Farrukh ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
