[openpgp] WG plans for the coming months

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

dkg and I just had a planning call and wanted to let you know
what we're thinking the WG might be doing in the coming weeks
and months:

- Just for the record, our new charter [1] is now operation,
so we'll be aiming to progress that as planned. The crypto-refresh
draft has been approved and should move to the RFC editor queue
shortly.

- At ietf-118 we said the chairs would poll the WG to see if
people do/don't want to split the PQC work [2] before doing a
call for adoption. You'll see a separate mail on that shortly.
The plan is to see what the WG want there in the next week and
if the WG want to keep all the PQC stuff in one draft (which was
our sense of the room at ietf-118), then we'll issue the call for
adoption. If the WG do want to split the PQC stuff into a set
of drafts we'll discuss that and see where it lands.

- If the consensus is to split the PQC stuff, or is unclear,
we'll try setup an interim meeting to discuss that in the very
near future. If the consensus is to not split, and the WG want
to adopt [2], then we'll likely setup an interim in mid-late
Feb to progress the work.

- We do plan to ask for a WG session at ietf-119. If you plan
to attend (remotely or in person), it'd be useful if you can
drop a note to the chairs so we have an idea who'll be there
in-person or remotely. (No rush on that but if you know already,
it'll help us plan agendas.)

Cheers,
S.
