[Joe] I think crypto agility is a well accepted requirement, but I can
explicitly add it.

[Joe] Since we have two work items that reference tunnel method, how
about changing "above tunnel method" to "tunnel method work item"?

[Joe] Jari requested that we do not close the door and create a solution
that works only with a tunnel method in the charter.  If the solution
requires large modifications to EAP-TLS then it probably won't be
attractive to the group.  I think it is reasonable to keep this open in
the charter.
