Re: [MSEC] Key Management protocol (GDOI - 6407) forward

[Sean Turner <[e-mail]>]

For the record Brian has approached me about AD-sponsoring 
draft-weis-gdoi-iec62351-9-02.  I don't think it's actually an update of 
6407 it's more of here's how IEC 62351 would use RFC 6407.

After talking with Brian in Berlin, I have but one dilemma AD-sponsoring 
such a draft is that it is intended for proposed standard and as best I 
can tell there's been one review (thanks Steffan).  Knowing that the 
msec community in the IETF is pretty small this might be a tall order, 
but is there anybody else out there will to give it a review?  (cough, 
hint) Yoav, Vincent :)
