*Discussion*
The NetAuth document roadmap has been sent out to the list. Please send your comments about the document roadmap to the WG via the list.

The subgroup, Federated Wireless Network Authentication (FWNA), holds a conference call biweekly on opposite Thursdays from the NetAuth WG calls. The subgroup will continue to use the NetAuth WG’s mailing list until further notice. The subgroup addresses the issues surrounding visiting scientists and scholars. Coordinating with TERENA and Eduroam, the group is developing a project plan to be sent the NetAuth WG by the end of December. Phase one of the plan will investigate requirements for a rapid deployment of a RADIUS hierarchy technical trial implementation. Phase two includes the development of a federation-integrating Shibboleth for attribute management.

The Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) is a high-speed network serving Department of Energy scientists and collaborators worldwide. ESnet provides high-bandwidth, reliable connections enabling researchers at national laboratories, universities and other institutions to communicate with each other using collaborative capabilities. ESnet is funded by the DOE Office of Science to provide network and collaboration services in support of the agency's research missions. For more information please see www.es.net. ESnet is looking to advance their network collaboration to existing applications and continued engineering studies. FWNA is in line with some efforts underway within ESnet. ESnet links OTP (One Time Passwords) to a RADIUS fabric and includes token-based PKI. FWNA will discuss ESnet during the subgroup conference calls. Please email the NetAuth list with any questions about ESnet and FWNA.

Upcoming events include the Joint Techs meeting February 13-17, 2005; the Spring I2 member meeting May 2-4, 2005 and the Security Professionals Conference April 2-5, 2005.

Once the Strategies document is in its third (next) draft, it will be placed in the I2 document library. Draft four will be used to gather comments from readers. Comments from the draft four vetting will be included in the document as draft five. An additional section will be added to the detection method section. Currently the detection method section includes passive and agent. It will include a one-time utility that does not reside on a network endpoint. The document will also include a section about the end user experience of NetAuth.

Robert Lowe of Lawrence University has released a passive NAT detection software kit, and seeks feedback from NetAuth group members about the software.

As the next regularly scheduled call would have fallen the week of the Christmas holiday, the next call is Thursday, January 6, 2004 at 12:00 PM ET.
