Hi Dick,

RFC 5781 mentions a protocol. There isn't any reference to the protocol. The RFC is normatively referenced in a Proposed Standard. According to the document shepherd it "is a mandated to appear in some protocol [1] messages, and so the normative reference is appropriate".

This draft is related to cryptography. It is difficult to find people with the necessary expertise to review drafts about cryptography. It is even more difficult to get people to do the review for free.

The reason for this work is get a code point assignment that requires IETF Consensus. The assignment does not negatively impact interoperability or otherwise extend IETF protocols in an inappropriate or damaging manner.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
