Fernando has a draft intended for BCP, that has been discussed somewhat
on the OPSEC and IETF mailing lists:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gont-tcp-security-00

Since it concerns TCP and facets of both TCP implementation and stack
configuration, TCPM holds the most technical ability to evaluate or
work on this, in my opinion.

As I understand, Fernando is interested in having this document done
as a WG item, but hasn't gotten clear signals as to whether OPSEC or
TCPM would be more appropriate, or on the relative level of support in
the WGs to read/review/revise the material.

It is a big document, but if TCPM'ers could take a look at it and let
us know if they would support this in TCPM as a WG item, that would be
very helpful.  Or if you have other thoughts about how to handle it,
of course share those too :).

We don't really need a detailed review at this point ... just a
discussion of whether there would be support for this work to happen
in TCPM, if it's worthwhile, if it should be done somewhere else, etc.
