The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'The Mobile Application 
Part SECurity (MAPSEC) Domain of Interpretation (DOI) for the Internet 
Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)' 
<draft-arkko-map-doi-08.txt> as an Informational RFC.

Ballot Text

Technical Summary

  The Mobile Application Part (MAP) protocol is a signaling protocol for
  cellular networks.  The MAP Security (MAPSEC) protocol provides a
  secure way to transport MAP messages.  To use MAPSEC, however,
  Security Associations (SAs) are needed.  This document defines how
  such SAs can be created automatically.  We use the Internet Security
  Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) as a framework for
  managing SAs and establishing keys.  The framework can be specialized
  to a particular task.  Such a specialization is called a Domain of
  Interpretation (DOI), and this document defines the MAPSEC DOI.  This
  specialization is very similar to the Internet Key Exchange protocol
  and the ISAKMP specialization for IP Security, except that SAs for use
  with non-IP protocols are being negotiated.
