I'm not sure exactly what you mean by standards track.  One of the goals of
CFRG is to provide review of and discussion about informational RFCs on
crypto mechanisms.  Our hope is that these RFCs will prove useful to IETF
WGs, and may be adopted into standards-track work in the IETF.  Of course,
as an IRTF group we don't have a standards-track ourselves.

Perhaps you meant that you'd like to see the CCM ID become a CFRG ID, which
sounds fine to me.
