> Greetings again. A few people have expressed interest in having https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nir-ipsecme-chacha20-poly1305 as a WG item for IPsecME. If you want this as a WG document, and you are willing to review drafts as they move through, please say so on this thread. If you are opposed to this being a WG document, please say so (and say why). Thanks in advance.

This got very little interest, which surprised me. Without a few more people who will commit to review the document and offer comments, we can't really call it a WG work item. Is there really so little interest in new algorithms that are being adopted in other protocols?

If you are an IPsec implementer, it would be very useful to know whether or not you would support adding this algorithm to your implementation, and why.
