RE: Subentries decision - internet draft withdrawn

This was more of a recommendation from the LDAP-related Co-Chairs
for how to proceed with the document than anything like consensus
at this stage. Concensus around our recommendation will have to be
gauged based on mailing list discussion of the revised information
model document.

Ed, 

Thanks for the summary. 

Was the concensus that we not use subentries at ALL with respect to the
information model - i.e. just use "regular entries" for this
information?  This seems very easy to do at the expense of these entries
"showing up" in the directory when they otherwise might not be expected.
Of course, access controls and/or search filters would probably keep
them from showing up in most cases anyway. 

I'll get to work on re-aligning the LDUP information model draft.

Regards,
Tim Hahn

Hello, all -

At the IETF in London the working group chairs of the LDUP and (late)
LDUPEXT working groups considered the issues raised surrounding the LDAP
Subentries draft I've been working on.  Their decision, as related to
me, was to ask that the LDUP information model be revised so that object
classes defined there for ReplicaSubentry and ReplicaAgreementSubentry
no longer are treated as subentries, and that the work on the LDAP
Subentries as a standards track document be ended.

So, the draft is hereby withdrawn from work group consideration.

The basis of the decision was that since the Access Control editors have
decided not to use LDAP Subentries in their document, and since they
were the only other charter-item document in the works that might have
referenced the document, there appears to be insufficient interest in
generalizing a variant from the X.500 version  of Subentries to be worth
continuing in the working group.  There is a strongly felt (and
forcefully expressed) feeling among several folks in the working group
that there is no reason to "dummy down" the X.500 Subentry
specification.  So we won't.

Thank you all for your patience in this matter...

Ed
