[Cbor] 🔔 WGLC on draft-ietf-cbor-cde-08

[Christian Amsüss <[e-mail]>]

Hello CBOR group,

as discussed in the last interim[1], it's time to run a Working Group
Last Call on CBOR Common Deterministic Encoding (CDE) [2].

This document has seen controversial discussion. I hope that most
concerns have been addressed, and ask both those who have long since
been happy with the document and those whose concerns were addressed to
state that on the list. Likewise, for those who do not agree with the
document, this thread is a good spot to state their concerns here in a
concise way (referencing archived threads for details can help keep
things short while preserving context).

As a special note, there is a text proposal with protocol from Laurence
on design considerations around ALDRs on [3]; Carsten is taking that up
into an appendix and will provide a PR link / updated document. This is
a sufficiently isolated concern that we don't need to wait for an
integrated document (to be available when submissions reopen). If
guidance on ALDR is something where you think the current document is
lacking, please have a look at [3] or the upcoming PR.


The call will run until Marh 26th to accommodate for lack of
availability during IETF122.

Best regards,
Christian

PS. We don't have a shepherd assigned for this document, any volunteers?
