Hi!

I feel that for the records a remark is necessary:

On Fri, 15 Dec 2023 12:14, Justus Winter said:

That is right.  This was the design team and I had asked the chair to
invite you to it.  To get things straight, let's name the actual
stakeholders: g10 Code for GnuPG, Ribose for RNP, Proton for OpenPGP.js
and GOpenPGP, and pEp Foundation for Sequoia.


> That compromise is affectionately called

Sorry, that was not the compromise.  The compromise was found in 2021.
After that the remaining design team changed large parts again without
the consent of people from GnuPG or Ribose.  In fact our later remarks
were never taken into account and thus GnuPG and Ribose basically
stopped participating in discussion.


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
