In case you meant RFC3203, I wanted to clarify that original Forcerenew spec indeed accommodates DHCP INFORM triggered by Forcerenew as RFC 3315 accommodates Information-Request. So i was surprised to find no reference of INFORM in 6704. This is want I wanted to clarify.  I am not particularly stressing to take this work right now but  still finding it little confusing to find that as per current standards we are saying that we can use Forcerenew Nonce Authentication for RENEW triggered by FORCERENEW but we still have to use original DHCP authentication for INFORM triggered by FORCERENEW.

Okay, now I understand why you raised this now.   I still think it's not work we ought to take on right now, but it makes more sense now.

BTW, having given you a bit of a hard time about proposing new work for the working group, I would like to commend you for raising this on the mailing list between meetings.   Now is a really good time to be proposing new work, so that we can discuss it and decide whether it needs a presentation at the next IETF.   I hope others will follow your example, and that my reaction won't discourage this.
