Re: IETF Last Call ondraft-barany-eap-gee-04.txt

From what I understand, the 3GPP2 lower layer definition is still in
progress, but there has been no liaison request from 3GPP2 to IETF to review it. From the document, I wasn't clear to me if GEE is included in the 3GPP2 lower layer definition. Presumably it would have to be in order to work with 3GPP2.

It also seems a bit awkward for me for IANA to administer parameters within the 3GPP2 lower layer. This would be like IETF maintaining a registry for IEEE 802.1X, IEEE 802.11i or IEEE 802.16e. What happens if 3GPP2 decides to allocate a parameter but there is an issue which holds this up?

I would agree that the best process would probably be for 3GPP2 to make the lower layer specification available and request IETF review. Portions could be published as an Informational RFC for the benefit of the community, but it would be clear that ownership resided in 3GPP2.

If we agree that EAP GEE is part of a 3GPP2 EAP lower layer, wouldn't
it be more appropriate to standarize EAP GEE within 3GPP2, with
utilizing this EAP WG review as peer review as we have done for IEEE
802.16e and 802.1aa?

Also, according to the IANA considerations section, IETF Review will
be needed for allocating new values for Version, TID and RFL fields.
If this is standardized within 3GPP2, there will be no need to come to
IETF to ask new values for these fields.
