[Openid-specs-risc] Reviewing the workgroup name

[Atul Tulshibagwale]

Hi all,
I'm a bit concerned that one of the two parts of the Gartner SASE Framework
is called "SSE" (Security Service Edge). This part got more publicity
recently from a new report by Gartner:
'Security service edge’ splits off from SASE in new Gartner Magic Quadrant
<https://venturebeat.com/2022/02/18/security-service-edge-splits-off-from-sase-in-new-gartner-magic-quadrant/>

Since our areas overlap quite a bit, I feel this is causing some confusion
about what SSE is. It's unlikely that we can get Gartner to change the name
from SSE to something else, so we may have to change our working group name
to avoid confusion.

So, I'd like to find out if the WG is willing to review the name of the
working group. I can think of a couple of possibilities for a new name:

   1. *Shared Signals*: Instead of "Shared Signals and Events", we rename
   the working group to the "OpenID Shared Signals Working Group", and the
   framework specification is renamed to the "Shared Signals Framework"
   2. *Secure Webhooks*: Since the framework is mainly about establishing a
   standardized way of doing webhooks, we can rename the working group to be
   the "OpenID Secure Webhooks Working Group", and the framework specification
   to be called the "Secure Webhooks Framework"

I have a slight preference for #1, since it is a term that is used right
now instead of SSE (e.g. the Cisco website is called
"sharedsignals.guide"), but I'm happy to hear what everyone thinks. I'd
like to have this as one of the agenda items for Tuesday.
