Anima met yesterday and will meet again on Thursday.

On Monday, there were discussions and updates to their different drafts:
  - GRASP: the GeneRic Autonomic Signaling Protocol draft is now version 4, updates were reported.  Three implementations of GRASP now exist, but they are simple prototypes.  Implementations and draft still need to ensure consistancy with the rest of the ANIMA drafts (e.g. bootstrapping, control plane et al).  More review and implementations were encouraged.

   - Bootstrapping of a Key Infrastructure has a design team that continues to meet weekly.  Progress is being made relative to joining or defining commonality between Anima, 6tisch and Netconf: e.g. enabling uninitialized (out of box), potentially malicious nodes into the network without destroying the network.  Comparisons of the three use cases, similarities and differences were presented.  Common goal now is to provision new nodes with certificates to allow them to use "traditional" methods to join the network.

    - Control Plane (ACP) updates: provided rationale for using GRASP to negotiate channel protocol and definition for how to apply GRASP. Remaining issues for next update revolves around the extensions: which ones to keep and how to move them forward.  Example extension is the use of authentication across domains, but not clear its needed so current path is to mark it as "architectural" for now.

    - Reference Model: updates were provided with request for more review as the Security and Trust Infrastructure needs a thorough security review.  The certificate format/profile needs to be better described (likely in bootstrap draft).  Security Advisor (me) has been asked to do review now.

  - IPv6 Prefix management: updates were provided and request for implementers as there are none yet.

A presentation for one implementation (without the Grasp integration) has been made based on SDN/ODL, more information can be found in hlps://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/SecureNetworkBootstrapping:Main
