Dear IPsecme WG Chairs, Thank you again for the opportunity to present draft-dunbar-ipsecme-lightweight-authenticate<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dunbar-ipsecme-lightweight-authenticate/> at IETF 122. I understand that the current scope of the IPsecme WG may not formally cover the specific optimization proposed in this draft. However, I would like to respectfully request that the IPsecme WG consider adopting it as a WG document. The motivation behind this request is that the mechanism described in the draft is essential to draft-ietf-rtgwg-multisegment-sdwan<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-multisegment-sdwan/>, which is actively progressing within the RTGWG. That said, the RTGWG lacks the cryptographic and IPsec expertise required to evaluate the proposed lightweight authentication solution. IPsecme, on the other hand, is the natural home for the review and validation of IPsec header extensions and authentication mechanisms. Without adoption by IPsecme WG, it is difficult to demonstrate that the proposed approach has undergone appropriate expert scrutiny, even if it is being referenced and deployed in a routing context. Could you please advise on how best to proceed? I would appreciate your guidance on whether this can be adopted or if there is another path forward to ensure appropriate review by the IPsecme community. Warm regards, Linda Dunbar
