Hello,
I have just posted a new document for the MAC labeling support work
to the IETF website. It contains a lot of clarifying text that has been
asked for by several people in the IETF community. I would like to ask
that people give it a look over and provide comments if possible. I
would prefer that discussion takes place on the NFSv4 WG mailing list
since it shows interest in the technology which is what the WG is
currently looking for. If you have any questions regarding the text or
the system outlined in it email me and I'll be more than happy to help
with any confusion. I am hoping to drum up enough interest in the work
to request that it be added to the NFSv4 WG charter at the next IETF
meeting. If you are interested in the work and would like to participate
or just think that it is a worthwhile technology and would like to see
it added to the NFSv4 standard feel free to speak up.
The information for the document which I received in the conformation
email and a link to it can be found below.
