Re: [Emu] EAP-AKA' and Re: WG adoption call for draft-arkko-eap-aka-pfs

[Joseph Salowey <[e-mail]>]

Significant time has passed and no alternate proposals have surfaced.  We
need to decide whether to accept this document into the working group or
not.  It seems that we have support for the view that working on this
informational document in the working group is preferable to the
independent submission track.

Do working group members still have objections to taking this draft into
the working group?   Please respond on this thread by July 5, 2019.

Thanks,

Joe
