Paul, 

Forget my last email.

Are you saying that the WG is trying to set the requirements
*after* the two proposals have been presented already?

If so, no wonder there is no unanimity.  Each proposal's supporters
now have too much sweat, pride and ego at stake.

Hopefully it can be resolved quickly.  The last cat fight I was
involved with was security for SNMPv2.  I'm not eager to repeat
that bad experience.

Again, good luck.
