+1 Devices supporting CoAP and EAP based infrastructures are parts of two disjoint ecosystems both of which we consider important. The specification of CoAP as low layer transport of EAP is one component that can be added as upgrade to both systems which enable their combination.
This is not targeting the most constrained setting. The details of the draft needs to be further analyzed and tested, so a degree of commitment from CoAP and EAP experts would be needed. With that assumption I believe this specification could be a useful component.

This could be particularly beneficial within certified environments (e.g., ISO27001). Josh Hi, The charter approval by the IESG is expected to be approved in the coming weeks. In the meanwhile, this email starts a call for adoption on work that has been included in the charter. Of course, adoption is contingent on the rechartering succeeding. The document called for adoption is draft-marin-ace-wg-coap-eap available here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-marin-ace-wg-coap-eap-07 Please state your opinion on whether this work should not or should be adopted by the WG and express your motivation for such a statement. The call for adoption closes on February 4.
