   This document specifies a group key distribution protocol (GKDP)
   based on IKEv2, the IPsec key management protocol; the new protocol
   is similar to IKEv2 in message and payload formats, and message
   semantics to a large extent.  The protocol in conformance with MSEC
   key management architecture contains two components: member
   registration and group rekeying, and downloads a group security
   association from the GCKS to a member.  This protocol is independent
   This document recommends, as policy, what specifications for Internet
   protocols -- and, in particular, IETF standards track protocol
   documents -- should include as normative language within them.  The
   capitalized keywords ^SHOULD^, ^MUST^, ^REQUIRED^, etc. are used in
   the sense of how they would be used within other documents with the
   meanings as specified in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
