On 20 September 2000 the IESG requested that this WG consider whether
the I-D "Forward Secrecy Extensions for OpenPGP" should be a Standards
Track rather than an Informational document. Considerable time has
passed without much comment or consensus, so we ask the WG to submit its
views to this mailing list by Wednesday February 7th 2001, 17:00 GMT. We
will collate these and pass them on to the IESG.

The document can be found at:

Cheers,
