Subject: [IPsec] WG document status, late May 2010 edition

Greetings again. Yaron and I keep up a page on the WG Wiki with the document status; see <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/ipsecme/trac/wiki/DocumentStatus>. As you can see, we now have five RFCs published, and two more in the RFC Editor's queue (which generally means publication within two months). Of our remaining work items for which there are active drafts:

- The Roadmap authors still owe the AD comments; that got delayed by lost mail.

- The EAP-only authentication document is in IETF Last Call

- The high-availability problem statement document is nearing the end of WG Last Call

There are three WG work items from our charter that are not listed are:

- The WG is (not actively enough) discussing which PAKE proposal we want the WG to move forwards with

- Lost state discovery will be discussed in a little while, after we get settled on PAKE

- This discussion of high-availability protocols will be discussed in a little while, after the document has been in IETF Last Call.

The energy level in the WG has flagged a bit lately, but as you can see from our status, we have done good work in the past. Please find more energy for the work that we have agreed to take on!
