[tcpm] WG status as of 1/21/2010

["Eddy, Wesley M. (GRC-MS00)[ASRC AEROSPACE CORP]" <[e-mail]>]

As a few things have changed since the last time we sent a
snapshot of the WG status, here is the current basket of
TCPM work.

I think the highest priority items are updates to the AO
and AO crypto documents in response to the comments from
WGLC (and post-WGLC discussion).

Something new on this list is the set of reported RFC
Errata that we need to vet as they're on TCP documents.
