Not since the meeting was held.  We've been exploring the idea of
separating syslog-protocol and syslog-transport from syslog-sign.  I asked
(several months ago) for us to look closely at that and decide if this was
a good way to go at IETF 59.  The group in the room had no objection to
this procedure and it appears on the mailing list as if everyone is in
agreement.  At this point, I can say that our official plan is to progress
syslog-protocol and syslog-transport.  Once those are sufficiently
underway, Jon can take a look at syslog-sign and modify as necessary.  We
can also look closely at syslog-internation along the way and see if it
can be incorporated into syslog-protocol.

Thanks,
Chris
