I'll send out a version today, with the things I think we've decided 
on.  Probably won't be final though.

Another topic we could discuss - how are we going to design the 
protocol?  We could have an "editor" in charge of collating stuff from 
people, like the Requirements doc..  But while that was probably necessary 
for the Requirements, it's not really that efficient of a process to 
bottleneck things through one person, who's supposed to be getting 
consensus on every decision.

What about doing it as a "competition", where people submit designs that 
they claim meet the requirements, we can discuss, they can steal each 
other's ideas, etc., until we eventually have something we're happy 
with?  I think things like IKEv2 and SCVP were chosen in a similar way.
