We have allocated some time in Tuesday's session to method presentations.
Since the allocated time is very short, and because the EAP WG is not
chartered to review or standarize EAP methods, we are requesting that the
presentations focus on providing the following information:

1. Basic info on the protocol
   Name:
   Intended media: (PPP, 802.11, PANA, PIC, etc.)
   Purpose/rationale (e.g. why it exists)
   Requested track (Standards, Experimental, Informational)
   Security claims:
      a. Mechanism (passwords, certs, token card, etc.)
      b. Mutual/one-way auth
      c. Key derivation
          1. Supported?
          2. Key size
          3. Key hierarchy description
      d. Dictionary attack resistance
      e. Identity hiding
      f. Protection
          1. Method negotiation
          2. Ciphersuite negotiation
          3. Success/failure indication
          4. Method packets
      g. Fast reconnect
   IPR issues (see RFC 2026)
2. Issues encountered with RFC 2284
