Hi,

Martin Gwerder has presented his draft to me for publication on the
Independent Stream.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gwerder-messagevortexmain/

The document describes and specifies a protocol designed to achieve
anonymity by embedding messages within existing transfer protocols such as
SMTP or XMPP.

Martin tells me that he has made some overtures to the IETF, but has been
unable to find an opening to discuss his work. I think that may be because
it can sometimes be quite hard for a newcomer to work out how to find a
way in, especially for a topic that is not easily aligned with what we're
currently working on.

So, before I take this under my wing, I wondered whether you see a place
where you think this should be discussed within the IETF.

Thanks for any clues,
Adrian
