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) Use Cases' <draft-ietf-abfab-usecases-03.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 2012-08-06. 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 Federated identity is typically associated with Web-based services at present, but there is growing interest in its application in non Web- based contexts. The goal of this document is to document a selection of the wide variety of these contexts whose user experience could be improved through the use of technologies based on the ABFAB architecture and specifications. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-abfab-usecases/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-abfab-usecases/ballot/ Some references need updating: RFC 2060 -> RFC 3501 and RFC 2821 ->RFC 5321. No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
