[Ppm] draft-ietf-ppm-dap-18 update

[Tim Geoghegan <[e-mail]>]

Hello ppm,

Over the last few months, several interconnected PPM related drafts have
been making some progress. Our hope is to publish draft-ietf-ppm-dap-18
soon, and to restart (or continue? whichever) the Working Group Last Call
process. This email serves as an update to the WG on what's been going on
as well as a call for contributions or suggestions before we cut -18 (more
below).

To get a sense of changes in the new Distributed Aggregation Protocol
draft, check out the issues and PRs labeled "draft-18" on the draft's
GitHub Repo ([1]), as well as some discussion in #ppm on ietf.slack.com
(which I know is semi-official at best, but what can I tell you, it's where
we hash these things out and at least it's public).

Also in recent weeks you may have noticed the publication
of draft-ietf-ppm-l1-bound-sum-02 ([2]) and draft-irtf-cfrg-vdaf-19 ([3]).

The editors plan to cut draft-ietf-ppm-dap-18 on *Friday, May 8*, unless
someone raises an issue we decide to address in the document between now
and Friday (and of course we can always do a -19 or beyond). If you want to
bring something to the editors' attention, then posting to this mailing
list, or #ppm on ietf.slack.org or filing issues on GitHub ([6]) are all
welcome.

Once -18 is released, we can expect a new draft-ietf-ppm-dap-taskprov
([4]), and my guess (though I'm not an editor on that one) is that we could
expect it to go to WGLC along with DAP. Additionally we can look forward to
a new version of draft-thomson-ppm-dap-attribution ([5]), and perhaps even
an adoption call.

Thanks,
Tim
