Bob,

It is really up to the authors (representing the will of the HIP WG) to get a 
revised I-D addressing the SEC Ads’ concerns. If they are satisfied with open 
questions put in an appendix (e.g., “for future work”) and they clear their 
blocking DISCUSS points, then I will more than happy to give the final go to 
HIP DEX.

Having email/voice exchanges with DISCUSS owners (and Ekr) can probably help as 
well.

Did you consider changing the intended status to ‘experimental’ ?

Obviously, the earlier, the better

Regards

Subject: Re: Need to close all draft-ietf-hip-dex-21 pending issues... before 
2021-Jan-13...

I have reached the point on going through all the old notes where any attempts 
at changes only seem cosmetic.  I spend a couple hours a week on it, trying 
something else.  I need to take a different approach, perhaps.

I just completed another round of going through the various emails.

What I am thinking about is put together a single note on what I perceive as 
outstanding issues, and put them in an Appendix.  I would push this out, still 
this month and see how things go from there.

I have really tried to come to some accommodation on the issues raised.

Events are somewhat catching up.  NIST LWC selection process may well result in 
renewing looks at technologies like HIP-DEX for 8-bit processors (see the 
latest LWC presentations including the build rate for 8-bit processors).

I welcome your response.

Dear HIP, dear authors,

This document was requested for publication [1] in February 2018 (2.5 years 
ago), then its IESG evaluation has been deferred, then I took over this 
document from Terry Manderson in March 2019, then it went again through IESG 
evaluation in July 2020 and there are still DISCUSS points to be addressed even 
after a couple of revised I-D...

Difficult not to observe that this document does not progress very fast.

Moreover, this document is a normative reference for rfc4423-bis waiting in the 
RFC editor queue since March 2019... So, also blocking the HIP-NAT document [2].

After discussion with the HIP chair, Gonzalo in cc, we have taken the following 
decision: if a revised I-D addressing remaining DISCUSS points + Ekr’s ones is 
not uploaded within 2 months (13th of January 2021), then I will request the 
HIP WG to accept the complete removal of section A.3.3 of the rfc4423-bis 
document (1 page about HIP-DEX in the appendix) + the reference to the HIP-DEX 
document [3]. This will allow the immediate publication of the rfc4423-bis and 
HIP-NAT documents.

The HIP DEX authors may also select to change the intended status of the 
document to ‘experimental’ (if the HIP WG agrees) as this may reduce the 
security requirements by the SEC AD and Ekr.

Gonzalo and I are still hoping to get a revised HIP-DEX shortly,

Regards
