As there as not been any objections to this change, I will change my draft to say that RFC 5996 format is MUST NOT, and obsolete the old RSA public key format. The new draft is already posted as draft-kivinen-ipsecme-oob-pubkey-03.txt. http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kivinen-ipsecme-oob-pubkey/ Diff: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=draft-kivinen-ipsecme-oob-pubkey-02&difftype=--html&submit=Go!&url2=draft-kivinen-ipsecme-oob-pubkey-03 > The another question is whether this document needs to be WG document > or not.

Only comment to this in the list was from Michael supporting of making this to WG document (especially if it can fit to charter). Yaron said in the meeting that he was unhappy this being individual since it obsoletes old format. So now we need a comment from the ADs and/or chairs whether they feel that this fits our current charter (maintain the IPsec standard and to facilitate discussion of clarifications, improvements, and extensions to IPsec, mostly to IKEv2) or do we need to update the charter. I have feeling that as this updates RFC5996 we should modify the charter, and accept this as WG item, but that will add some delay, as I think this document should be ready now, and as we are obsoleting things it best to get this out as soon as possible... On the other hand it might be faster to do charter update, than wait for anybody in the list to say anything about this issue :-) -- [email protected] _______________________________________________ IPsec mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipsec
