Besides the in-band/out-band discussion. We have input to Ran regarding
other parts of the specifications from Phil Rogaway, Dean Throop, and
Andy Bayerl that will affect the specification, I would like to see
responses to that input publicly as the questions and input were relative as
to whether the specs are ready for proposed standard before Danvers.
I have not decided in my mind if they may cause a change to the
architecture, which Ran needs to give us his view of that set of input.
Whether it affects keying I am not sure, but I think not?
I do not think its counter-productive to implement the specs as they
exist today, and because of interoperability testing, cause a change
if necessary to the architecture or to the method or methods that can be
implemented for customers who want to use IPv6 Security.
