My apologies ahead of time for the cross-posting to multiple lists. 

Following up on the recent discussions regarding GSSAPI v2 extensions 
which have taken
place within the Global Grid Forum Security Working Group; on the IETF 
CAT Working
Group mailing list; the IETF Kerberos Working Group mailing list; and 
many Zephyr and
Jabber chat sessions, it appears to be time to form a working group as a 
follow up to CAT
(aka KITTEN) to complete the necessary work.

Prior to sending a formal request to the IESG I would like to obtain 
feedback from
the interested parties.  I have posted to:

    /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/a/jaltman/Public/kitten-iesg-letter.html
    http://web.mit.edu/~jaltman/Public/kitten-iesg-letter.html

a proposed letter to the IESG providing the justification for the
creation of the KITTEN working group.  This letter includes a
proposed charter as well as a set of milestones.

Please read the proposal letter and send feedback to 
ietf-cat-wg@lists.stanford.edu.
Replies to this e-mail will be redirected to the CAT mailing list.

Thank you.

Jeffrey Altman
