No > consensus could be achieved on this topic. On > the other hand, the ADs received an informal liaison statement from IEEE > 802.11 > (https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/1181/) requesting code point > assignments for these curves in the IKEv1 registry. > IEEE standards 802.11aa and 802.11s are using this name space of the > IKEv1 registry, and these specs are apparently not > up for change until 2015. The matter was discussed at the SAAG meeting > among the ADs and the WG members present and it > was decided to publish an internet-draft that requests these code points > but also requires IANA to add a note that they > are not for IKEv1. In the WG discussion following its publication, > concerns were uttered that the note won't be enough > to stop people asking for IKEv1 products to support these new code > points and to prevent implementers to use them for > IKEv1. On the other hand, it was expressed that requiring the IEEE specs > to point to another (new) registry is probably > not possible due to their publishing cycle. Alternative solutions were > discussed, e.g. to include in the registry only a > link pointing to another registry where the actual values are listed. > Eventually, the approach of the draft, i.e. to > include a note "not for IKE" in the registry, was widely considered the > best way forward. > > After some comments on earlier versions, an announcement of a revised > draft on the ipsecme mailing list did not result > in any further comments. > > There was agreement that the draft shall not be a WG document. > > Document Quality > > Some specific comments of Tim Polk were accommodated in a revision. > > Personnel > > The Document Shepherd is Johannes Merkle, the sponsoring AD is Sean Turner. >
