Re: [Privacy-pass] Call for Adoption of Key Consistency and Discovery Draft

[Ben Schwartz <[e-mail]>]

As a PRIVACYPASS chair:

The PRIVACYPASS chairs discussed the question of venue with the OHAI
chairs, and settled on running the adoption call in PRIVACYPASS.  This was
motivated in part by a sense of how busy the two groups are, and in part by
a reading of the charters that placed this topic more clearly in-scope for
PRIVACYPASS.

As an individual in PRIVACYPASS (and author of the DoubleCheck draft):

draft-wood-key-consistency-03 has added a section discussing the
architecture that is instantiated in DoubleCheck.  While I would like to
make some small adjustments to the description, I think those can be
addressed later if the document is adopted.  I would not want to merge the
two drafts, because I feel that draft-wood-key-consistency is rightly an
Informational draft describing potential architectures (usable by standards
developers and creators of closed systems), whereas DoubleCheck is a
proposal for a fully specified interoperable protocol, which could be
spoken among independent parties without any prior arrangement.  Protocols
could similarly be defined for the other architectures in
draft-wood-key-consistency if the IETF deems it necessary.
