I would like to clarify one point for the final minutes.

I do not know if protection of the MAC control traffic is important. I
hope it can be put out of scope. Otherwise a specific solution will be
needed for each MAC. However, it is clear that management protocols that
sit on top of the MAC are within scope. Bridge-to-bridge traffic is one
example. Further, I do not know if replay protection is important, but I
suspect that it is. Even if we were to make study today of each of the
protocols and we were to find that replay could not cause a problem, this
may not be meaningful. Future changes could introduce a problem.
