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


Title:      rxgk: GSSAPI based security class for RX
Filename:   draft-wilkinson-afs3-rxgk-04
URL:        http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-wilkinson-afs3-rxgk/

Abstract

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


Title:      Integrating rxgk with AFS
Filename:   draft-wilkinson-afs3-rxgk-afs-02
URL:        http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-wilkinson-afs3-rxgk-afs/

Abstract

   This document describes how the new GSSAPI-based rxgk security class
   for RX is integrated with the AFS application protocol.  It describes
   a number of extensions to the basic rxgk protocol, clarifies a number
   of implementation issues, and provides values for the application-
   specific elements of rxgk.


If approved, these documents will advance to the AFS3-standards "experimental" state.
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 May 1, 2013.

Please review these documents and send any comments to the AFS-3
Standardization Group mailing list, <afs3-standardization@openafs.org>,
by that date.
