====================

- draft-ietf-sasl-gs2-14 -- in WGLC
- draft-ietf-sasl-scram-02 -- in WGLC
- draft-ietf-sasl-4422bis-01 -- not much progress, mostly editorial
- changes
- draft-ietf-sasl-channel-bindings-03 -- some revisions, as side
  effect of SCRAM/GS2 discussion

SCRAM and GS2 in WGLC (concluding Aug. 3); mostly editorial comments
at this point.

SASL base spec to Draft Standard: need implementation report.  4422bis
needs revised SASLprep, which Kurt will work on.  Some discussion
about normative downref to SASLprep.  Probably not a problem because
individual mechanisms are what actually normatively reference it.

Drop EXTERNAL from base spec?  No consensus either way.  Probably not
a big deal; could possibly get folded into Simon's external-channel
draft.
