I can't speak about standard TELNET, but for TN3270, there is a separate wg.
I am its chair.  We have three drafts going right now, one for the current
TN3270 practices, one for an extension to this to add printer and dedicated
LU support, and a third that significantly enhances TN3270 to support a
number of key SNA options.  Our list is a LISTSERV, TN3270E@list.nih.gov

In our discussions on encryption, we have decided not to specify the
AUTH_ENCRYPT, as IBM already has a 3270 encryption methodlogy within the
3270 datastream.  Vendors that want to support encryption should support
that instead.  That, at least is our current thoughts.
