I'm not aware of any efforts. If you are seriously interested in seeing this done, I suggest you contact Phill Gross (pgross@nri.reston.va.us). As head of the Internet Engineering Task Force, this sort of activity is his responsibility. Note that the IETF recently has been restructured to make it easier to get such RFCs written, issued and blessed -- for something like this, it could be only a few months. The next IETF meeting is in Hawaii (in part to see what Torben Nielsen's been doing in promoting IP in the Pacific Rim) at the end of October. Craig
