Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   It is desirable to extend SRTP and its keying mechanisms to support
   country-specific cryptographic transforms.  This document resolves a
   clash between IETF procedure and existing RFCs.  IETF procedure
   requires that country-specific cryptographic transforms be published
   as Informational RFCs [RFC2026], but existing documents require
   extensions to SRTP and extensions to SRTP keying to be published as
   Standards-Track RFCs.

   The IANA Considerations section of this document resolves this clash
   by allowing Informational RFCs to register new cryptographic
   transforms.

Working Group Summary
   
   The document was provided by the AVT working group.

Document Quality

   The document provides only a change to the level of review 
   for adding elements to an IANA table, and is therefore not 
   subject to implementation.

Personnel

   Keith Drage is the document shepherd. Robert Sparks is the
   responsible AD.
