# Éric Vyncke, INT AD, comments for draft-ietf-kitten-krb-spake-preauth-11

Thank you for the work put into this document. Due to the very specialised
content of this I-D, I only quickly browsed through it.

Please find below some non-blocking COMMENT points.

I hope that this review helps to improve the document,

Regards,

## Global history of the document

I find the trajectory of this document really weird, hence my ABSTAIN:

* The outdated shepherd write-up is dated 2019-01-23 (i.e., it deserves a
refresh about IPR & AD at least) * The IETF Last call is dated 2020-05-12
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/_PtiER1BI4UJGuSnX2LQn5R1xJU/
ending 2020-05-26 * There is an IPR declaration dated 2020-06-02 * 3.5 years
later, it is at IESG evaluation

I am trusting the responsible AD for checking the last call comments/reviews
and that the IPR declaration should not influence the intended status.

## Section 1.2

`this pre-authentication mechanism`, which one is this ? I guess the Kerberos
one but it may be worth being clear on "this".

## Section 1.3

Suggest to expand "OTP" at first use.
