Hi,

We have had a few "discusses" during the IESG review of the WESP draft. To help 
resolve them, we would like to reopen the following two questions to WG 
discussion. Well reasoned answers are certainly appreciated. But plain "yes" or 
"no" would also be useful in judging the group's consensus.

- The current draft 
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ipsecme-traffic-visibility-11) defines 
the ESP trailer's ICV calculation to include the WESP header. This has been 
done to counter certain attacks, but it means that WESP is no longer a simple 
wrapper around ESP - ESP itself is modified. Do you support this design 
decision?

- The current draft allows WESP to be applied to encrypted ESP flows, in 
addition to the originally specified ESP-null. This was intended so that 
encrypted flows can benefit from the future extensibility offered by WESP. But 
arguably, it positions WESP as an alternative to ESP. Do you support this 
design decision?

Thanks,
     Yaron
