Hi all,

The RFC 4294-bis draft has the following requirement, which comes from
the initial RFC.

 8.1. Basic Architecture

   Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol [RFC-4301] MUST be
   supported.

 8.2. Security Protocols

   ESP [RFC-4303] MUST be supported.  AH [RFC-4302] MUST be supported.

We have had a lot of discussion that people basically feel that these
requirements
are not applicable and should be moved to SHOULD.  I would say that
there is rough
WG Consensus on this.  Do people feel if there should be additional text
to explain
this?

I suggest that the WG Chairs and our ADs discuss this with the Security
ADs to ensure
that this is a reasonable consensus to adopt - so that we do not run
into issues
during the eventual IETF/IESG review.  I am not sure that we can go much
further in 
discussions in the WG.

Does anyone have comments on this approach?

John
