That sounds great to me, I will plan to present at SECDISPATCH. If the chairs of DISPATCH would be willing to give me a quick moment to just point people to this other work during the meeting, in case they aren’t paying attention to this list. Considering that DISPATCH is first it’d mostly be pointing people to the SECDISPATCH meeting for the discussion if they’re interested.

If this work finds a home, I think we’d be able to get a lot of that external community to participate in whatever list ends up hosting the work.

But, we will have recordings and as is oft stated, ultimately decisions happen on mailing lists.  And, I appreciate and agree with Jeffrey not wanting feature creep in WPACK.  One objective of DISPATCH has been to ensure that work that is chartered is discrete enough to finish in a timely manner.

It's hard for chairs to judge consensus to work on something when the communities interested in the work are not participating in IETF.  Mailing list participation is sufficient.

And, perhaps whether it gets a few minutes in SECdispatch might be informed on how it goes in DISPATCH, if we have a chance to discuss it, since you need the agreement that this is a problem IETF should solve from both areas.

Lately, though, I’ve been seeing a lot of renewed effort in different sectors, and in particular the financial sector and cloud services, to have a general purpose HTTP message signing capability. As such, I think it’s time to push something forward.
