Tom, 

Will those existing WGs you mentioned also do the following?

- a standard interface to express, monitor, and verify the security policies on 
distributed security functions that may be running on different premises.

This layer will leverage the existing protocols in RESTconf, AAA, SACM, and 
security policy expression using Role Based Access Control (RBAC), Mandatory 
Access Control (MAC), or Attribute-based access control (ABAC).

Those WGs charters don't have those objectives. 


Thanks, Linda

        They certainly could, without the added management overhead of a new WG.
