[HOKEY] Proto writeup for draft-ietf-hokey-preauth-ps-09



Hi Tim,
Here is the Proto writeup for draft-ietf-hokey-preauth-ps-09.

 (1.a) Who is the Document Shepherd for this document? Has the
       Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the
       document and, in particular, does he or she believe this
       version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication?

The document shepherd for draft-ietf-hokey-preauth-ps-09 is Tina Tsou <tena at huawei.com>. I believe this document is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication. I have identified a number of minor editorial improvements that could be made, but since the document has completed WGLC these can be dealt with as part of the IETF Last Call process the document had adequate review both from key WG members
       and from key non-WG members? Does the Document Shepherd have
       any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that
       have been performed?

The document has been well-reviewed by key WG members. The fact that the post-compromise version of the document (see 1.e) was carefully scrutinized and reworked for two more versions is evidence of the WG's continuing commitment to its success.

 (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document
       needs more review from a particular or broader perspective,
       e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with
       AAA, internationalization or XML?

No concerns.

  (1.d) Do have any specific concerns or
       issues with this document that the Responsible Area Director
       and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he
       or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or
       has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any
       event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated
       that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those
       concerns here. Has an IPR disclosure related to this document
       been filed? If so, please include a reference to the
       disclosure and summarize the WG discussion and conclusion on
    &n s issue.

No concerns. No IPR disclosure.

 (1.e) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it
       represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with
       others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and
       agree with it?

Some of the content led to a four-month controversy because some members felt it was inappropriate given the document title. The controversy was settled with the assistance of the Area Director at the March, 2009 meeting, with an agreement on alternative terminology so that the phrase "EAP preauthentication" retained a specific meaning within the broader category of "early authentication". The Working Group subsequently demonstrated a solid consensus behind this compromise on the list.

 (1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme
 &n bsp;&nbs ;discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in
       separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It
       should be in a separate email because this questionnaire is
       entered into the ID Tracker.)

No.

 (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the
       document satisfies all ID nits? (See the Internet-Drafts Checklist
       and http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/). Boilerplate checks are
       not enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document
       met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB
       Doctor, media type an d URI ty /Datatracker finds no issues. No additional reviews applicable to this document.

 (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and
       informative? Are there normative references to documents that
       are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear
       state? If such normative references exist, what is the
       strategy for their completion? Are there normative references
       that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]? If
       so, list these downward references to support the Area
       Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967].

Split as required. No down-references.

 (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that th e docume bsp;    consideration section exists and is consistent with the body
       of the document? If the document specifies protocol
       extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA
       registries? Are the IANA registries clearly identified? If
       the document creates a new registry, does it define the
       proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation
       procedure for future registrations? Does it suggest a
       reasonable name for the new registry? See [RFC5226]. If the
       document describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd
       conferred with the Responsible Area Dir ector so nbsp;     can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation?

Not applicable (section exists with no requirements).

 (1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the
       document that are written in a formal language, such as XML
       code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in
       an automated checker?

Not applicable.

 (1.k) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document
       Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document
       Announcement Write-Up? Recent examples can be found in the
       "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval
       announcement contains the following sections p; Technical Summary
       Extensible Authentication Protocol early authentication may be
       defined as the use of EAP by a mobile device to establish
       authenticated keying material on a target attachment point prior to
       its arrival.  This draft discusses the EAP early authentication
       problem in detail.


    Working Group Summary
       The Working Group experienced major controversy over the inclusion of
       what was eventually termed the "Authenticated Anticipatory Keying Usage
       Model" within the document. This controversy was resolved by changing
       the document title to n between the new model
       and "EAP preauthentication", reserving the latter term for a very
       specific architectural arrangement..

    Document Quality
       The document is a problem statement and as such, lays the groundwork for
       development of solutions to the identified problems.
