[Ietf-keyprov] Charter discussion - Kerberos

[Hallam-Baker, Phillip]

Further to the charter discussion I think we need to consider the role of Kerberos.
 
The feeling I took away from the meeting was:
 
1) Kerberos is not a priority for KEYPROV (unanimous)
2) Nobody will object if KEYPROV turns out to support Kerberos
3) Nobody will object much if it turns out not to be possible to support Kerberos easily
4) Many people would like us to avoid making KEYPROV unnecessarily incompatible with Kerberos
 
What I take from this is that we should remove the reference to Kerberos in the first paragraph of the proposed charter and instead add a paragraph at the end something like:
 
"While the intended field of application should be narrowly drawn the Working Group shall avoid unnecessary limitations and ensure the potential for future extensibility by considering proof of concept designs for application in other symmetric keyed protocols, in particular Kerberos and DNSSEC."
