Below is the proposed WG charter updated with the new protocol names to be consistent with latest problem statement ID. There are a few editorial changes as well, otherwise it is the same as submitted with the BoF request early in February.
If you have further comments on this, please let us know.
Thanks

Proposed NEA WG Charter
Architectures have been implemented
in the industry to assess the software or hardware configuration of
endpoint devices for the purposes of monitoring or enforcing compliance of
endpoints to an organization's policy for access to the network. These
architectures are not fully interoperable since some of the protocols used
to implement the architecture are not standards.
The first purpose of the proposed
working group is to define requirements for the protocols needed to ensure
interoperability in an NEA system. The second purpose of the working group is to
ensure standardization of protocols that meet these requirements. In some cases,
these protocols may best be standardized in another working group. Therefore,
the proposed working group will work with the area directors to determine the
best way to complete this standardization effort (in the proposed working group
or in another one).
The initial scope of the WG targets
an EAP/RADIUS instantiation of a NEA architecture. Other instantiations of NEA
architectures may be standardized in the future, but are not part of the initial
charter.
The initial charter includes the
following protocols (as described in
draft-thomson-nea-problem-statement-01.txt):
1. Posture Broker protocol
(IF-PB)
2. Posture Transport Tunnel protocol
(IF-PTT) i.e. EAP tunneling method suitable for carrying posture information as
well as supporting authentication
3. Posture Transport Carrier
protocol (IF-PTC) i.e. EAP over IP carrier protocol
4. RADIUS attributes for network
access enforcement (IF-NAE)
Other protocols that may be included
in the charter at a later date include:
* Posture
Attribute protocol (IF-PA)
* Posture Validation Protocol
(IF-PV)
Work will be carried out in two
phases. In the first phase, the WG will define requirements for each
of the protocols identified in 1) - 4) above. When the requirements
have been defined, this WG will work with the responsible Area Directors
to identify the appropriate WG for meeting these
requirements.
Milestones:
June 2006:
* Submit requirements I-D to
IETF including
--- requirements for IF-PTT (EAP
tunneling method)
--- requirements for IF-NAE
September 2006:
* Submit revised
requirements I-D to IETF that includes above plus:
--- requirements
for IF-PB
--- requirements for IF-PTC
(EAP over IP carrier protocol e.g. EAP over UDP, EAP over TLS)
December 2006:
* Review ongoing work in IETF (e.g.
EMU WG, Radext WG, PANA WG, NEA WG) and work with ADs to identify the WG
responsible for accommodating protocol requirements that are not currently being
met.
Feb 2007:
* Submit requirements I-D to
IESG for publication as Info RFC
* Revise WG charter to accommodate
definition of protocols not covered in other WGs e.g. IF-PB
* Submit I-D on protocols to be
defined in this WG e.g. IF-PB specification
