To briefly recounted the saga as I know it, it has been discussed on
this list before. Was presented in opsec first at ietf 74 with
significant group feedback, and resulted in a spirited discussion on
this list, including some extremely helpful commentary from RJ Atkinson
on the attack surface of the various currently in-use algorithms.
Subsequently the authors sought and received commentary from the
security ad's.

The resulting document is ready for testing of wg acceptance. It is my
understanding that the intended status of this document is informational.

Glen Kent noted his support for the  current document on 12/16.

Comment period will run 1 calender week 1/11-1/18

WG chair hat off,

I think the draft could  still use of tweaks to the overall tone before
it goes to last call, I see that value as guidance to implementors and
perhaps operators rather than as guidance to the routing area, the work
that will produce these protocol will necessarily occur separately from
this document itself.

 I have a significant hand in changes between draft 03 and draft 04 for
so I'm not entirely unbiased when it some to the current state, but I
think it's pretty good. use of lower chase should in terms of addressing
future requirements I think adequately conveys that this doucment
recommends protocol changes but is not itself imposing those
recommendations.

thanks
