I think the RG does not have the juice that we had hoped for originally, and it's OK to shut it down. Some of the ideas will resurface as IETF work, but without the research-y discussion that might improve them early on. The world doesn't need yet another mailing list to discuss these topics, and when post-PKIX PKI topics appear, they can create their own mailing lists.
