The IESG has received a request to consider IEEE 802.1X RADIUS Usage Guidelines <draft-congdon-radius-8021x-22.txt> as an Informational RFC. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. IEEE 802.1aa depends on this document. IEEE will be conducting their sponsor ballot on 802.1aa very soon. Once they start that process, any changes will be severely restricted, so we need to have any IETF community input sufficiently before that any problems in IEEE 802.1aa can be detected and fixed well before they go to sponsor ballot. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2003-2-19.
