[as co-chair]

The XMPP charter has a milestone determining a direction for end-to-end encryption. Matt and Peter submitted draft-miller-3923bis back in March. There's been very little discussion of it since then.

Have people read and understood this draft? If so, do you think this should be the basis for going forward on end-to-end encryption? Note that this doesn't mean we consider the draft perfect as is--just that we think it's a good starting point.

Thanks!

Ben.
