This note announces the start of a one-week last call within the AFS-3
Standardization Group on the following document:

Title:           rxgk: GSSAPI based security class for RX
Filename:        draft-wilkinson-afs3-rxgk-02.txt

   rxgk is a security class for the RX RPC protocol.  It uses the GSSAPI
   framework to provide authentication, confidentiality and integrity
   protection.  This document provides a general description of rxgk.  A
   further document will provide details of integration with specific RX
   applications.

If approved, this document will advance to the "experimental" state,
which is roughly equivalent to the IETF's "Proposed Standard".  A
specification in that state is expected to be complete and ready for
implementation; however, it is possible that the specification will be
revised on the basis of implementation, testing, and/or deployment
experience.  Advancement beyond this state to "standard" requires
successful implementation and an additional last call within this group.
For more details, see sections 2.3 and 2.3.3 of
draft-wilkinson-afs3-standardisation-00.txt.

This last call will expire at 23:59 EDT on January 17, 2012.

Please review this document and send any comments to the AFS-3
Standardization Group mailing list, <afs3-standardization@openafs.org>,
by that date.  The file can be obtained via
