Advancing PPP RFCs to Standard, updating Security

Hi,

Our AD is interested in a plan to upgrade appropriate PPP standards
track RFCs to full Standard. A change in state can, under the right
circumstances, be done without a new RFC.

I think it would be appropriate, as I have suggested before, to review
the PPP security RFCs with a view, in each case, to moving to Historic
those which don't meet modern security standards or to obsolete them
with a new version which does... The later would require a Charter
change.

To quote from the existing PPPEXT Charter: "The group may, however,
advance existing specifications to the next level in the standards
track, if a need for that comes up. Similarly, the group may classify
existing specifications as Historic where this is appropriate."

I'd be interested in any comments. If there is any desire for a brief
meeting in Berlin to discuss this sort of thing, this would be a good
time to request it. (I just noticed that the session request tool has
an option to request a 1/2 hour meeting which I never noticed before.
While WGs have had very short meetings, I can't recall one scheduled
for less than 1 hour...) I suspect such a meeting at the next IETF
Meeting in Berlin is not necessary...

Thanks,
Donald [PPPEXT Chair]
