I want to say a few words of thanks.  The IPsec WG was one of the longest 
running IETF WG ever.  The results are quite impressive.  It is not 
possible to thank every contributor, reviewer, author, and editor.  There 
were simply too many.  You know who you are.  Be proud of your work products.

Over the years, there have been seven WG chairs.  Thanks to each of 
them.  Obviously, the work could not have been completed without their 
leadership.

	Alton Hoover	Aug 1992 - Jan 1994
	Paul Lambert	Aug 1992 - Mar 1997
	Jim Zmuda	Feb 1994 - Dec 1994
	Ran Atkinson	Apr 1995 - Mar 1997
	Bob Moskowitz	Aug 1997 - Dec 1999
	Ted Ts'o	Aug 1997 - Apr 2005
	Barbara Fraser	Mar 2001 - Apr 2005

In the last two years, the WG chairs were assisted by two technical 
advisors.    Thanks to them; they really helped the working group reach 
closure and consensus on recently approves set of documents.

	Angelos Keromytis
	Tero Kivinen

Given the many years involved in the IPsec WG effort, many different 
Security Area Directors were involved.  Steve Crocker was the first 
Security Area Director, and he was the original shepherd for the IPsec WG.

	Steve Crocker	Nov 1989 - Mar 1994
	Marcus Leech	Mar 1998 - Mar 2002
	Jeff Schiller	Mar 1994 - Mar 2003
	Steve Bellovin	Mar 2002 - Nov 2004
	Russ Housley	Mar 2003 - ...
	Sam Hartman	Nov 2004 - ...

Again, thanks very much to all of the people who contributed to this 
important body of work.

Russ
