Re: Please review proposed letter to the IESG regarding the creationof the KITTEN Working Group with the IETF Security Area

Jeff, 
This look very good. 

I know I have requested the GGF and IETF to review the situation of extensions 
to GSSAPI, and I am sure many of the active GGF members (who also attend the 
IETF) will participate in the BOF and join the new WG. 

And thanks for volunteering to lead this effort.
