4.   External Orgs & Liaisons (Mike L./Chris)

4.2.   Saudi/SAMA

Received specs last week

Joseph discussed some issues which may result in a new revision of the spec

Spec looks similar to OB-UK

Examples show use of parameterized scope passing the intent ID

4.3.   IETF

RAR and DPoP are in review

No breaking changes were made to DPoP

5.   FAPI Specs

5.1.   General

Joseph noted that files in the repo keeps being renamed at the last moment due to Mike Jones asking them to be renamed so that the Markdown files have the same names as the corresponding XML and HTML.

There are rules constraining the format of the final file names

We should rename all files so that they follow the rules or change the build pipeline to output the correct file names

FAPI 2 Security Profile ended up with the file name FAPI 2 Security which might be a result of the build tools

Links to the FAPI 2 Markdown are now broken

Should we rename files to follow rules? If yes, we still need to keep old file names with pointers to the new file location

Investigate why FAPI 2 Security Profile resulted in FAPI 2 Security

  • Due to the ‘Seriesinfo’ name value
  • Dave will add “profile” back to the filename

Should links point to compile ones or the Markdown?

  • Put links to the compiled version in the Markdown

    • IETF seems to be taking up this issue
  • #467 - Can FAPI specs support ecosystems where smart phones aren't common, e.g. by using USSD
    • USSD is becoming a less important criteria for Nigeria
    • Nigeria’s priority is shifting away from open banking at the moment
    • “The Central Bank of Nigeria has stalled on open banking since they released the draft guidance last May. It may be that their priorities have shifted from Open Banking to fighting inflation, releasing new currency designs, and pushing the e-Naira CBDC. However, industry engagements continue to happen around authentication and authorization. From what we are seeing, trying to lasso FAPI or oAuth2 over USSD may not be a priority for the banks and CBN almost immediately. The technical challenges to make this happen is significantly more than the positive impact it may have for the target cohort of users. On the other hand, the adoption of smartphones continues to rise as internet access becomes cheaper and smartphones become available at affordable price points. Invariably, the need for auth over USSD may not be required. Thanks for the updates as well and it’s heartwarming to see the progress that FAPI has made good progress in other jurisdictions. “
