Thanks Jim,

I've requested IETF LC for this. Not sure if the
mail will go out today or Monday.

Cheers,
S.

PS: I-D nits spotted a couple of refs that have
been updated. Its fine to fix those at the end
of IETF LC, but we'll want a -11 for that at least
probably.

The IESG has received a request from the Application Bridging for
Federated Access Beyond web WG (abfab) to consider the following
document:
- 'Application Bridging for Federated Access Beyond Web (ABFAB)
   Architecture'
  <draft-ietf-abfab-arch-10.txt> as Informational RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-01-17. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   Over the last decade a substantial amount of work has occurred in the
   space of federated access management.  Most of this effort has
   focused on two use cases: network access and web-based access.
   However, the solutions to these use cases that have been proposed and
   deployed tend to have few common building blocks in common.

   This memo describes an architecture that makes use of extensions to
   the commonly used security mechanisms for both federated and non-
   federated access management, including the Remote Authentication Dial
   In User Service (RADIUS) the Generic Security Service (GSS), the
   Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and the Security Assertion
   Markup Language (SAML).  The architecture addresses the problem of
   federated access management to primarily non-web-based services, in a
   manner that will scale to large numbers of identity providers,
   relying parties, and federations.

I am pretty confident of that happening, but it might be prudent to allow
some time for discussion.

Be cautious of this computer science conference

If you have any thought of attending the world’s biggest 
f-a-k-e conference in computer science 
http://www.world-academy-of-science.org  you should visit 
any websites below

The organizer of this conference is H-amid A-rabnia  
http://www.cs.uga.edu/~hra  a professor from University 
of Georgia, Athens, US.  He already earned millions of 
dollars from the registration fee. He recently started 
a new conference CSCI due to his hunger for money 
http://www.americancse.org 

He did not reveal the reviews and reviewers' information 
for all the papers he received, despite repeated requests 
and challenges. The reason for his failure is there are 
no reviews and reviewers and he just cheated the research 
community for more than a decade by announcing that each 
draft paper is reviewed by two experts. We challenge him 
to publish these details at the conference website. 
Where are your experts? Where are your reviews? 

Soon he comes up with a story announcing that he lost all 
the information having reviews and reviewers because of 
computer crash or theft.

DBLP stopped indexing these conferences since 2011 and 
displayed an explicit message; 
"The DBLP Advisory Board decided to discontinue indexing 
of this conference series". Visit 
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/biocomp/index.html 
as a sample.

He was forced to remove his name, the university of Georgia 
name, and university of Georgia email address from the 
conference’s contact page because the University has 
banned him from doing that. Do not spoil your resume by 
publishing in this conference.

Apologies for posting to multiple mailing lists. Spreading 
the news is the only way to stop this conference from 
harming innocent researchers.

Respectfully,

Many researchers cheated by these conferences
