[Joe] I know that Alan has been asking for help with this draft especially
with TEAP and EAP-FAST.  I hope that you and others can work with him to
get the draft in a shape that we can progress through the working group.  I
agree that this is an important thing to do.

The EAP-TLS 1.3 draft is fairly far along and I do not think we have
consensus to add TEAP into the document at this point, but I think we can
make faster progress on the TLS types document if we have people interested
in working on it.
