[openpgp] crypto-refresh timeline

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

I just checked with Paul (our crypto-refresh editor,
who also happens to be a very busy security AD:-) and
let's see if we can meet the following timeline to
get the WG process for crypto-refresh done:

- discuss the remaining few issues on the list in
the next week, ending up with mergable MRs
- that'll allow Paul enough time to publish an
updated draft with those merged before the IETF
cutoff date for new drafts (March 13th)
- once that's done and all going well I hope we
can hit the publication-requested button for
that draft and then move on to re-chartering
discussions

Note that after we hit publication-requested
there are quite a few steps still in the process:
our AD has to do a review, that might cause us
to change stuff or not, then our AD has to ask
for IETF last call, we get a pile of directorate
reviews, that might or might not cause changes,
then the draft goes to the IESG for review and
approval and then to the RFC editor. So the
work isn't finished when we hit that button,
but hopefully any changes in all that will just
be editorial and the WG can move on to consider
other topics.

Cheers,
S.

PS: Yes, like all IETF timelines, this is a bit
optimistic, but we're nearly there, so I hope we
can actually meet this one:-)
