I’ve been wondering for a while now whether it’s time to move the CFRG over to the IETF as a working group. Stephen’s comment on routing stuff directly to the CFRG suggests to me that it’s probably time or RSN. In recent years, the CFRG has produced documents that are for lack of a better phrase de facto standards. The rate of document production of the CFRG mimics more closely that of a WG than the other extant RGs AFAICT. As an RG the CFRG isn’t permitted to publish standards track documents, nor is the IESG or the ISE permitted or constrained to require a conflict review on the documents the CFRG does produce. [the latter comment is my understanding of the rules of the research stream - it may be flawed, but the purpose of RGs is supposed to be looking at futures and that by definition shouldn’t be conflicting with the nows]. An alternative might be to charter a crypto standards WG and try to keep the CFRG focused on years out - say how the heck do we deal with the quantum apocalypse? Or keep the math in CFRG and the on the wire specs for using in a WG. Discuss!
