[AVT] Fwd: I-D Action:draft-perkins-avt-srtp-not-mandatory-00.txt

[Colin Perkins <csp at csperkins.org>]

A frequent question we get in IESG review is why RTP-related  
documents don't mandate SRTP as a single security mechanism. This  
draft tries to explain the design choices, and why it's appropriate  
to offer several options. We ran out of time before the deadline, so  
there are a lot of rough edges that will be fixed in the next  
version, but any comments are appreciated.

Cheers,
Colin (not as chair)
