I'm fine with the new text. Again, provided that people come forward
with a commitment to work on the vendor documents.
Thanks,
Yaron

That's why I used "review" and "help" rather than "write" or "produce".
So before we approve this charter, I would like to
hear from people that represent vendors that they can commit to publish
such a draft for their favorite solution. With a mostly complete -00
draft in, say, 4/2012. Please respond to the list or privately to Paul
and myself.
Also, I suggest to replace the sentence "The working group may consider
multiple proposals, and then choose one to bring to the standards
track." by "The working group may standardize one of the vendor
solutions, a combination of several, or a new protocol." The latter is
clearer, at least to me.
Agree. How about:
In an environment with many IPsec gateways and remote clients that share an
established trust infrastructure (in a single administrative domain or across
multiple domains), customers want to get on-demand point-to-point IPsec
capability for efficiency. However, this cannot be feasibly accomplished only
with today's IPsec and IKE due to problems with address lookup, reachability,
policy configuration, etc.
The IPsecME working group will handle this large scale VPN problem by
delivering the following:
* The working group will create a problem statement document including use
cases, definitions and proper requirements for discovery and updates. This
document would be solution-agnostic. Should reach WG last call around October
2012.
* The working group will review and help publish Informational documents
describing current vendor proprietary solutions. These should be ready for IETF
last call by August 2012.
* The working group will choose a common solution for the discovery and update
problems that will satisfy the requirements in the problem statement document.
The working group may standardize one of the vendor solutions, a combination,
an superset of such a solution, or a new protocol.
