    Hi folks; Unfortunately through traveling last
    week to SF and back I have come down with quite a bad cold, that has come
    with it a bad case of laryngitis. I can't really speak. Can I request we delay until next week... - Jason Keirstead Lead Architect - IBM Security Connect www.ibm.com/security "Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those

    [cti-taxii] Alternate Query Proposal Walk Through February 19th Sent by:        <cti-taxii@lists.oasis-open.org> Jason,   I agree â you should have an opportunity to present your
    proposal and answer questions. Letâs add it to the agenda for the next
    working call.   Thanks, Rich   From: <cti-taxii@lists.oasis-open.org> on

    <cti-taxii@lists.oasis-open.org> Subject: [EXT] [cti-taxii] Alternate Query Proposal
    Walk Through February 19th   I would like to be given the opportunity to walk the TAXII
    SC through the alternative Query proposal that Terry MacDonald and I created
    over 12 months ago This proposal is located here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Cy_9Bh5tKEkDHGg2iv5c3AwriqVr7ygbKXWOv4-uHxs/edit#heading=h.1jcqb6vc5y7z We have floated this proposal several times to the SC
    - yet, there has never really been any debate,  discussion, or any
    significant comments on the document or with either of us, while others
    have created these alternative proposals. My understanding is this proposal
    may have been presented very briefly at the F2F, however no one involved
    in the creation of it was present to defend it. Most of the arguments I hear people give against the proposal,
    I believe are based on false understanding of how it works. Which is why
    we would like to be given the opportunity to defend it. I would like to plan to present this to the TC on the
    working call on February 19th. The benefits of this proposal over the current relationship
    one: - Ease of implementation.  There is a lot
    of misinformation about how hard this would be to implement. Because query
    types are optional for implementations, it is actually extremely simple
    to implement, much simpler than the current proposal is. It is also simple
    to add query types to your software in the future. - Interoperability and Optionality. No implementor
    is required to implement any specific type of query , however code implementations
    can 100% interoperate, due to trivial discoverability of the types of supported
    types of queries - Combinations . You can combine supported query types
    to get what you want . I can ask for indicators that match an observable
    *and* combine this with a request for relationships - Modularity. We can add other types of queries ,
    without creating "endpoint hell". Vendors can even make their
    own query types using STIX SEP process, and have them interact with other
    query types in a 100% interoperable fashion. - Sets you up for asynchronous queries . STIX queries
    against data lakes of hundreds of TB can take some time to fulfil. To expect
    one to be able to always fulfill a TAXII query in a synchronous REST endpoint
    in all scenarios, is not realistic. In this implementation, because the
    query resource is POSTed to the endpoint, it allows results to be fulfilled
    asynchronously via an alternate channel (ie, TAXII channels). Once TAXII
    channels exist, this will be extremely useful. However, even right now,
    software could still use existing technologies like OpenDXL to make this
    feature useful. - Jason Keirstead Lead Architect - IBM Security Connect www.ibm.com/security "Things may come to those who wait, but only the
