In Seoul there was a presentation on the GDOI GROUPKEY-PUSH Acknowledgment 
Message (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-weis-gdoi-rekey-ack/), an 
update to RFC 6407 (GDOI) — a group key management protocol using IKEv1. GDOI 
was originally managed by the MSEC WG, which is no longer active. The question 
was asked as to whether there was any interest in the IPSECME working group in 
this work, and the authors were asked to take the question to this list. Please 
respond if you believe the draft should be managed within IPSECME, rather than 
as an AD sponsored draft (which is the alternative plan).

Is 6407 actually implemented for IKEv2? It really reads as an IKEv1
plugin. Similarly, this also seems like an IKEv1 plugin for that
plugin. I'm a little surprised 6407 is Standards Track.

I wasn't around when 6407 happened. It seems like a very complicated
keying protocol that just happens to be run inside IKE (although on
a different port?). I'm not sure how many people within ipsecme
are familiar with this and would want to work on this document. As
it seems to not affect IKEv2 on port (4)500, I feel it is probably
best done without adoption by the WG. Although it currently says
Standards Track, so I'm not sure if it can be that and AD sponsored?
