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

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the update, and good luck with resolving this!

Personally, I think the WG has partially already told us what to do.
To pick a concrete example, the poll for binding keys to AEAD modes
at IETF 114 was 17 to 0 in favor. The crypto refresh draft does so,
and this draft doesn't. So on that point, we should go with what the
crypto refresh says. Similarly for the other points on which we had
polls. But yeah, it may be worth having some high level discussion
about what to do with the two drafts. But for me it's fairly clear
which one matches the WG consensus more closely (unless the IETF 114
polls didn't reflect the WG consensus somehow).

Best,
Daniel
