Hi Brian,

IETF is in the business of building tools (i.e. open specifications with 
running code) for developers. And these tools are best built in working 
groups which have the expertise on them. Most people outside the ANIMA 
community would not know what is a MASA. Similarly, most people outside 
the EMU community would not know that Session-Ids for fast 
re-authentication must be exported by all EAP methods.

I agree with folks that there may be multiple solutions that are 
relevant to the bootstrapping problem. But each of those should 
developed in working groups where the relevant expertise is present. One 
could argue that that we would end up developing different solutions for 
the same problem in silos. However this why we have the IESG ,the 
directorates, and liaisons to other standards bodies. It ensures that we 
are aware of related work ongoing in different fora. With my limited 
experience of IETF, I certainly don't think IETF is in the business of 
building ecosystems (and neither should it be).

Also, ANIMA is scoped for autonomic management, with bootstrap and security being only part of the requirements; in that sense, the ANIMA scope is broader.
