[Openpgp-dt] a bit of a pause in progress

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hi DT folks,

First, I want to apologise for being awol for the last
couple of weeks - I was busy with other stuff is my
lame excuse;-)

Second, I've recently become aware that a new draft has
been published [1] that might be confusing (I'm confused
by it anyway;-) so we'd like to ask that you give dkg
and I (as chairs) a few days to try setup a call with
Werner so we can understand how to present this to the
WG list for discussion there. (I've mailed Werner so
hope to have that call in the next day or two.) If we
don't manage to have that call this week, we plan to
take this to the list on Monday anyway (to ask how the
WG would like to proceed).

In the meantime, it's probably best we sit on our
hands with the crypto-refresh draft until the WG have
had a chance to discuss. Optimistically, I'd hope the
WG will tell us what to do after a few  days discussion,
but I guess we'll see.

Cheers,
S.

PS: In case it's not obvious, dkg wasn't an active co-author
for [1], I guess Werner was just preserving existing author
names.
