eap Mailing List: RE: Strawman -10/EMSK deletion requirement?

[Avi Lior (avi]

Hi  Jari,

You know what?  I read: " I do not think we need a protocol
definition...." as
" I do think we need...."  -- big difference ;-)

So therefore listed all the other APIs.

So I agree with you.  There is an API or there isnt? Its not IETF's
domain.

Sorry for the confusion it was very early in the morning.
