I believe these drafts should be working group items so, no, I don't
object.

Yes, I will help David and the draft authors as needed.

I believe these drafts should be standards track so, no, I don't object.
The reason for making these standards track is that IEEE 802.15.4 uses
AES-CCM and this will allow existing hardware implementations in IEEE
802.15.4 devices to natively support a TLS cipher suite.
