The IESG has received a request from the Transport Area Working Group
Working Group to consider Robust ECN Signaling with Nonces
<draft-ietf-tsvwg-tcp-nonce-04.txt> as an Experimental Protocol.

   Statement of Intent:
     
      This specification contains an optional addition to Explicit
      Congestion Notification (RFC 3168) improving its robustness
      against malicious or accidental concealment of marked packets.
      It has not been deployed widely.  One goal of publication as an
      as an Experimental RFC is to be prudent, and encourage use and 
      deployment prior to publication in the standards track. It is 
      the intent of the Transport Area to re-submit this specification 
      as an IETF Proposed Standard in future after more experience has 
      been gained.


The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action.  Please send any comments to the
iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2002-12-20.
