Hello Paul,

So sad to see this message.. I think we had some interesting discussion in the ML,
but probably it is a bit early for this WG to have a space on IETF, yet. Still a
matter of academic research before moving it to IETF (??).

In case, and I am sure that's gonna be the case, we'll need a venue to discuss
the future of post-PKIX.. (if there's gonna be one.. :D) we could re-open this
or another WG... :D

Cheers,
Max
