Re: Call for agenda items & PRQP

[Massimiliano Pala <[e-mail]>]

Ciao Stefan, Steve, and pkix-wg,

I would need 10 mins for reporting on the activities about PRQP - we have been
working both with the TERENA (TACAR) and Federal Bridge folks and they are going
to deploy PRQP (at least as experimental). Some interest in the PRQP has also
been expressed by some commercial vendors... so I think that the WG should be
informed of these activities.

Also, from the collaboration with the DHC WG, we have changed the draft and it
seems that we need IANA to assign identifiers for DHCP (both v4 and v6).

One concern that I have is that IANA would not be so keen in assigning DHCP
service identifiers for an experimental-track protocol, but the deployment
of PRQP is actually happening and I would like to have at least those identifiers
standardized before this actually happens. I am not sure about what we shall do
now. The PRQP will be included in the next release of OpenCA as well, therefore
there will soon be a quite large installation base (besides the aforementioned
communities).

Shall we move the status from experimental to standard track ? Is it too early ?
I see that within the WG there is not much activity about PRQP, but in the real
PKI world and Computing Grid communities the situation is different.

I would like to know the opinion of the chair(s) and the people in the WG...

Ciao,
Max
