I favor option 2 as well Ray

There are tunneling EAP methods already in widespread use that can meet the requirements with a few extensions (e.g. EAP-TTLSv0 with the extensions documented in draft-hanna-eap-ttls-agility-00.txt). Customers are understandably reluctant to deploy new EAP methods so it's much more likely that they will use the results of our work if we use an existing EAP method instead of defining a new method.

I would like to clarify the choices and determine working group consensus on the list. The two directions are given below please express you preference by 10/25. Option 1 - Password based method - this option restricts the work item to what is currently in the charter. The resulting method would have a new method ID and selecting this method would mean selecting a password based exchange that meets the requirements we already set forth. The method may use an existing method as its base. Option 2 - Tunneling method - this option requires clarifying the charter to work on a tunneling method which would then be used to meet the password method requirements. This would include making sure we have a valid set of requirements to work with. The working group may select an existing method as its base and have backwards compatibility as a goal, however whether the method uses the same method ID and any modifications to the method will be determined by working group and IETF consensus.
