RE: changes to CEM message structure: msg#00005

Subject: RE: changes to CEM message structure
Kyle,

OK, then a different question.  Is this supposed to be working group draft?

If it is:

1. When it was first brought to my attention I expressed concern that this
document was focused on a topic that isn't part of the charter of the
working group as far as I can tell.  The IESG review you've experienced so
far is part of the concern that I and the security ADs have with the
document.  In short, we haven't yet resolved the charter/topic question to
my satisfaction.

2. The document is improperly named for it to be a working group document.
It isn't showing up in the I-D tracker as a work product of this group.
Point 1 needs to be resolved, though, before this point should be addressed.

If it isn't:

1. It should be renamed to clearly identify it as an individual submission.

Document naming guidelines are described here:

http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.txt

in the section titled "Submitting".

We can talk live about the scope and the charter at the meeting next week if
anyone happens to be coming to DC.  Summaries will of course be shared here.
