but what is the concrete recommendation that you want to give here?

- Drop the access/ISP part from the draft and say access/ISP is
out-of-scope?
- move this to EMU?
- or deal with the EAP/NAI related aspects outside IETF as you seem to
suggest (which is already partially the case today due to lack of
guidance)?

maybe this is why some people do this via the NAI ;-)
