The "official" statement came from Jeff Schiller (the IETF Security Area 
Directory) a month ago.  Please check the e-mail archive if you have not read 
this announcement. 
 
The IPsec working group is now focusing on the ISAKMP/Oakley specifications as 
the mandatory to implement standard for key management.  The working group is 
strongly encouraged to send all comments on ISAKMP/Oakley to the list.  If 
something is not clear, please propose text. 
 
I would also strongly encourage the group to pursue interoperability testing 
as soon as possible.  If someone would like to help coordinate testing at the 
next IETF, please let me know. 
 
After the working group has finished all editorial clarification of 
ISAKMP/Oakley, work within the committee could start on incorporating optional 
facilities for in-line keying.  I assume that this work will be loosely based 
on SKIP with slight modifications based on working group suggestions for a 
consolidated architecture.  Note that this will not be SKIP as currently 
documented. 
 
I also assume that the SKIP team will continue to contribute to this working 
group to help create a consolidated approach for in-line keying.

Is there an official statement from the workgroup
about the status of ISAKMP/Oakley vs SKIP?  I see bits
and peices but no official statement.
