krb-wg members,

 Cliff has now updated the web page version of the Clarifications. By Monday,
please try and review  these as stated in the meeting minutes: 

  All those present agreed that the Clarifications will be ready for WG last call
  within a few days, after some final editing and conversion from html to the standard
  IETF format.  By Monday, Oct 7 we are requesting the WG to look over the
  html version, and in particular supply additional text for the Section 11  
  "Security Considerations" (Which is listed under the Section 10 on the web page.)

 http://www.kerberos.isi.edu  for the Clarifications, and the KCRYPTO.

  Of special note: After discussions with the Security AD, Section 9.1 "Specifications 2"
  was updated to require AES. It was felt that the AES document would be ready along with 
  Clarifications. And to require any other strong encryption methods in the document which
  would then be replaced with AES within a short time would place to large a burden 
  on the vendors to implement two methods.  

Also note that since the meeting, section 3 and 10 have also changed, with 
changes to user to user and perfect forward secrecy.
