Many documents are with the IESG.  The WG is prepared to address comments when they come.

draft-ietf-lamps-cms-mix-with-psk is ready for WG Last Call.

A recharter is before the IESG to include header protection.  Two documents were discussed on the assumption that the IESG will approve the revised charter.  First, draft-luck-lamps-pep-header-protection explores all of the cases that need to be addressed for header protection.  Second, draft-melnikov-lamps-header-protection describes two possible ways forward.  The WG needs to pick one.

draft-vangeest-x509-hash-sigs offers a way forward for using hash-based signatures for certificates and CRLs.  A call for WG adoption is underway.

Several people suggested a new charter item to work on quantum-safe certificates.  Since we don’t fully trust post-quantum algorithms yet, the idea is to sign with multiple algorithms.  The assumption is that invention of a large-scale quantum computer will not break all of the signatures.  A recharter is needed for the WG to take on this topic.  Further discussion on the mail list is needed to determine if there is interest in this topic.
	
draft-luck-lamps-pep-header-protection suggests the creation of a lightweight profile of CMP.  A recharter is needed for the WG to take on this topic.  Further discussion on the mail list is needed to determine if there is interest in this topic.
