* What: Specifying a distribution method
* In/Out/Future: In scope
* Status: In progress (see opencontainers/distribution-spec)

Listing repositories (like [`/v2/_catalog`][catalog]) is a multi-[image-index][] action, which is out of scope for this entry.
Managing groups of image indexes requires multi-[image-index][] actions, which are out of scope for this entry.
Listing image indexes within a group is a multi-[image-index][] action, which is out of scope for this entry.
* Description: Define a protocol for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting content-addressable objects, such as those defined in the [image specification][image-spec].
* Why: This specification will provide one (of possibly many) distribution specifications.
Alternative distribution specifications may be developed for uses cases not covered by this specification, but defining them is currently out of scope for the OCI.
