Folks,

draft-weis-esp-group-counter-cipher-00  was presented at San Diego and 
was discussed at length.  One could argue that this is out of scope for 
our charter, although the charter does not explicitly disallow 
multi-sender operation (here is the relevant line from the charter: 
"Initial efforts will focus on scalable solutions for groups with a 
single source and a very large number of recipients. "  Ok, we have been 
at this for some 7 years and can no longer claim to be in initial 
stages, but you know what I mean.).

At the meeting 6 people thought this should be a work item and no one 
objected.  Any thoughts?

Russ, could you tell us if we can do this without rechartering?

thanks,
Lakshminath
