Dear Working Group,

The I-D mentioned above is a first attempt at defining a framework for
sacred -operations, protocol functionality and authentication options.
Several sections are still incomplete, and others will surely be
re-drafted. It is our hope, however, that the draft will serve both as a
basis for discussions in San Diego (as well as on this mailing list), and
as a stepping-stone for a better understanding of the challenges we face.
