This week the PAR for KMP passed within 802.15:

https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/dcn/11/15-11-0613-03-0kmp-key-management-protocol-par.doc
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.15/dcn/11/15-11-0665-03-0kmp-kmp-5c-draft.doc

In the PAR we are requesting the creation of a Recommended Practice that 
will be identified as 802.15.8.

Next step is to get IEEE 802 approval which will be at the Atlanta 
meeting week prior to IETF.

For all the current documents for the KMPIG:

GIves the latest thoughts on how the shim will work and how the document 
will be structured.

As for 6lowpan and pre-802.15.4e devices, I will work on and Internet 
Draft and welcome any partner authors.
