Working Group,

There's been a lot of behind the scenes work in github to try to get our bundle of authentication features completed.  As of today:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bfd-optimizing-authentication-13 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bfd-optimizing-authentication-13> - Updated 2 Feb.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bfd-secure-sequence-numbers-13 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bfd-secure-sequence-numbers-13> - Updated 4 Feb
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bfd-stability-12 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bfd-stability-12> - Updated 31 Jan.

The chairs would like to encourage you to review these documents together.  

Reshad has some questions related to bfd optimization that he'll be bringing to the mail list for broader discussion.

I believe once Reshad's thread has resolved, we'll be ready to request various directorate reviews, and likely to also call for Working Group Last Call.

Meanwhile, we look forward to your reviews.

-- Jeff and Reshad
