    I m guessing that WGLC is an IETF process term, I ve got no idea what it means.  More specifics on what they mean by us catch[ing] up would also be helpful.
    Who is Eliot Lear talking to?




     


    WGLC = Working Group Last Call.







     


    Do we know what IETF WG / charter this is under?  And their plans for progressing what appears to be an ID to an RFC?




     

    I can step through the whole thing if you like.  The work is ongoing in the opsawg working group.  The draft due to be posted will be found as draft-ietf-opsawg-sbom-access-02.  The primary focus of the deliverable is to deliver
    discovery  information for SBOMs and secondarily VEXes, if people agree.


     


    The process is as follows:




    Someone writes a draft (Scott and I did that)
    WG mulls it over
    WG decides to adopt it (this happens)
    Draft gets developed (we are here)
    Draft gets discussed more
    Draft then goes through Working Group Last Call (hoping for Sep/Oct)
    IANA review for assigned names and numbers 
    Security, Apps, Transport, General, Area review
    IETF last call
    IESG evaluation
    Approval
    RFC

     


    There s plenty of time for change.  In fact there s no fixed date to move things along, but we don t want to drag things out either.  Everyone is welcome to participate.  Just join
    opsawg@ietf.org .


     


    And I m happy to meet with anyone to improve the content re OpenC2.

    IETF has an RFC that references using OpenC2. Attached is some work circulated to the SBOM crowd. 




     




    According to IETF gurus we need to :




    OpenC2 needs to catch up to this work if they want to remain after WGLC (them s the rules).  I ve reinitiated a discussion with those guys.




    I m not sure what the means but we should do it promptly.




    Dave K (or L or anyone else) I d appreciate help in doing this.

    Hi everyone,  



     




    As discussed, Scott and I have updated the SBOM sharing draft.  As agreed, it handles VEX and SBOMs independently.  We need to get this posted by Monday for the draft deadline.  A few of the more salient points:




     




    The intro is rewritten a bit to make clear what the key questions are.  We don t focus on licensing in this draft, though there is one sentence about them in formats and format neutrality. There are two independent choices in terms of how the information is retrieved- one for SBOMs and one for VEXes.  Each are roughly speaking the same. Each maintains format neutrality.  There is also some text in there about what if the VEX and the SBOM file are the same.  That s to address (obliquely) CycloneDX. We managed to write the entire draft without using the term VEX . OpenC2 needs to catch up to this work if they want to remain after WGLC (them s the rules).  I ve reinitiated a discussion with those guys. We ve taken Pat s feedback to create separate well-known suffixes rather than to establish a tree. I ve updated   https://mudmaker.org/test
    [mudmaker.org]  with a version that does All Of This.


     




    One question is just whether it should ever be expected that vulnerability information be kept on the box.  That seems like a stretch, even though the draft supports it.





     




    Please see attached, and you can view the source at  https://github.com/elear/mud-sbom/tree/vex
    [github.com] .  This will probably get merged over the weekend into the master branch (which at some point will be renamed main ).
