[Cfrg] draft-irtf-cfrg-dragonfly document status

[Alexey Melnikov <[e-mail]>]

Hi,
My apologies for taking so long on this. But I felt I needed to review 
mailing list discussions to make up my own mind on this topic.

After reviewing mailing list discussions about this draft, I would like 
to do another RGLC on it. I've seen negative comments on the mailing 
list, but I've also seen some interest in this work and I am also aware 
that some variants of the algorithm are already implemented/deployed. 
Also, there were a couple of new revisions of the draft and it is not 
clear whether people who reported original problems are happy with how 
they got resolved. So I would like to see a bit more positive feedback 
on the latest version, in particular I would like to know if specific 
issues raised by earlier reviews are addressed in the latest version.

Considering how difficult previous Last Call on the document was, I 
would like to ask people to:
1) keep in mind that CFRG chairs believe that the RG should work on PAKE 
requirements and after that on other PAKE proposals. This was suggested 
by our previous co-chair David McGrew:
   http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/cfrg/current/msg03723.html
2) be professional, in particular no ad hominem attacks
3) be constructive. In particular if you would like a disclaimer being 
added to the document, please suggest specific text.
4) simple statements of support for publishing the document or objection 
to publishing it are fine and encouraged. Sending them directly to RG 
chairs is fine. But please avoid saying "but what about PAKEXXX?", due 
to 1).
5) unlike IETF, IRTF RGs are not required to reach rough consensus. 
However I would like to see us try.

Best Regards,
Alexey,
on behalf of chairs.
