In keeping with the sense of urgency – it will be prudent to take advantage of this face-face meeting to meet and discuss this matter. That offers greater bandwidth than we have over email now.

Tony- My comments are in blue and follow your points. Working on/correcting deficiencies in the 802.10 standards does not necessarily mean that the 802.10 working group has to be resurrected to do the work. There are several existing examples in 802 where 802.X has raised PARs to contribute to/modify standards owned by 802.Y - the MAC Bridge standards are prime examples where this has happened in the past. I suspect that the owning working group that allowed
another working group to raise a PAR against its Standard, was a result of
either the owning working group having too much on its plate, or greater
expertise existed in the non-owning working group in the particular
subject area. Neither is the case here. .10 has nothing on its
plate except the .10 Standards and has significant security expertise to do the
work. I do not expect fragmentation of either effort -- to the contrary, I expect both efforts to be enhanced, since .10 members will attend SG meetings in addition to simultaneously working on our revisions to SDE. We will have the benefit of hearing any new issues/requirements raised in the SG, and the SG will have the benefit of knowing the exact state of the SDE revisions and any new issues that may arise from those revisions. By doing these efforts in parallel (but with close coordination), a solution will be available more quickly than waiting for the SG effort to complete (which is unbounded timewise) before the implementation effort begins. Sincerely, Ken
