Dear Alexey:

I am unhappy with this draft. Besides, I do not understand at all why 
the CFRG co-Chairs choose to take this step (call for adoption of this 
draft, at this specific moment in time) right now. What triggered this? 
This seems to be a random move, at a random moment in time.

I think it would be good if the CFRG leadership could explain its thinking.

Best regards, Rene


    Charter

TheCrypto Forum Research Group(CFRG <https://irtf.org/cfrg>) is a 
general forum for discussing and reviewing uses of cryptographic 
mechanisms, both for network security in general and for theIETF 
<http://ietf.org/>in particular.

TheCFRG <https://irtf.org/cfrg>serves as a bridge between theory and 
practice, bringing new cryptographic techniques to the Internet 
community and promoting an understanding of the use and applicability of 
these mechanisms via Informational RFCs (in the tradition of, e.g.,RFC 
1321 <http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1321>(MD5) andRFC 2104 
<http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2104>(HMAC). Our goal is to provide 
a forum for discussing and analyzing general cryptographic aspects of 
security protocols, and to offer guidance on the use of emerging 
mechanisms and new uses of existing mechanisms.IETF 
<http://ietf.org/>working groups developing protocols that include 
cryptographic elements are welcome to bring questions concerning the 
protocols to theCFRG <https://irtf.org/cfrg>for advice.
