IMHO, we need it. We need that
convergence around some smaller number of mechanisms.
My 2 cents,
Dan

> There are currently a large number of mechanisms defined or under

> architectural approach for attacking this problem. The results

> In Montreal there was broad consensus on the need for some form
> of media-plane key management protocol (MPKMP).

> The two major open issues are:
> 1. Whether (and how) the signalling needs to be coupled with
> the MPKMP(s).
> 2. Which MPKMP(s) should be the basis for future work.
>
> Presentations should focus on architectural issues not technical
> details, which will be resolved in the appropriate WGs.
