You mean draft-ietf-dhc-auth-suboption-00.txt? That would seem to be a
good step!

But I think the IESG also has asked  for a recharter and a more
general plan for dealing with DHC security.

I also agree with Mark that using IPsec, while possible, isn't
necessarily the obvious answer. I think a very real question is
whether one could get IPsec deployed on the relay agent devices where
its usage is actually needed most.

Note also, that IPsec (without IKE) might be adequate too. Manual
keying may well be workable given the trust relationship between DHC
servers and relay agents.
