I can't speak for Sun's Solaris Trusted Extensions team, but as an individual I believe this work is important and should proceed. And while this work could well proceed outside the NFSv4 WG as individual submission Internet-Drafts, I believe these documents will greatly benefit, in terms of quality and time-to-publication, by being covered by the NFSv4 WG charter. Therefore I support amending the WG's charter to include work on MAC labeling support in NFSv4. Cheers, Nico --
