The IESG has received a request from the Simple Authentication and Security Layer WG (sasl) to consider the following document:

- 'Using GSS-API Mechanisms in SASL: The GS2 Mechanism Family '
  <draft-ietf-sasl-gs2-17.txt> as a Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action.  Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2009-11-18. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
I would like to suggest a clarification to the IANA registration for GS2-* family of SASL mechanisms:

In Section 15, 3rd paragraph:

OLD:
 The IANA is advised that SASL mechanism names starting with "GS2-"
 are reserved for SASL mechanisms which conform to this document.  The
 IANA is directed to place a statement to that effect in the sasl-
 mechanisms registry.

NEW:
 The IANA is advised that SASL mechanism names starting with "GS2-"
 are reserved for SASL mechanisms which conform to this document. The
 IANA is directed to place a statement to that effect in the sasl-
mechanisms registry. With the exception of "GS2-KRB5" and "GS2-KRB5-PLUS" (registered later in this section), all other mechanism names in this family are constructed as
 defined in section 3.1.

Opinions?
