I should correct myself here: if you can get the charter of SECSH
ammended so it can design a new GSS-API mechanism using SRP, go for it.

The CAT WG is not open, so there's no single best forum to discuss new
GSS-API mechanisms.  If that is what you want then I see some options:

 - discuss the new mechanism in the old CAT WG mailing list and proceed
   with an individual I-D

 - get some WG's charter amended so it can be responsible for the
   proposed GSS-API mechanism

 - get a new WG created or have CAT revived

I think a number of issues are slowly piling up that ought to lead to
the revival of CAT, eventually.

Cheers,

Nico
