Replying to a few things at once...

If some work does get traction and has good security properties
we'll find a venue for that, so whether your draft progresses is
much more influenced by it's security properties and whether or
not people want to implement/use it.

Again, I'd focus on defining the right piece(s) of work that have
good security properties and developer interest. If such pieces of
work exist, we'll find a venue or form a new wg if needed.

If someone is willing and able right now is the time to say that.

If there is DICE work to be done, then I'll chat with Zach and Dorothy
about availability, but chair availability or lack thereof is not why
I at least think we're done here. And if there's good work to be done
and people to do it, we'll find new chairs if need be.

In summary, I'm seeing some level of interest in a few things, but
nothing that yet convinces me there's enough to keep DICE around so
far.

Cheers,
