I think I asked this before: Reading your draft, I have not seen any
technical feature of SAFENeT in your draft that is specific for enterprise
environments.

All scenarios you describe are fully matched by the MIDCOM semantics
and MIDCOM MIB.

Would you explain which TECHNICAL feature of SAFENeT you see that
do "address specific concerns for enterprise environments"?

My first recommendation is positioning SAFENeT with respect to the MIDCOM
requirements (RFC 3304), framework (RFC 3303) and protocol semantics
(RFC 3989).

Do you comply with these documents or do you differ from them.
If you differ, it would be good to know which aspects are different.

When would you be available for a discussion?

Thanks,
