Sorry you found my posting off-topic.  Since the charter process has  not
been completed yet (I believe it's going through due process, I  am not
worried) and since I was discussing a critical and  undocumented aspect
of the current and future technology I thought it  was relevant.

I think we have to allow some level of discussion of the state of the 
art in this forum or else we won't have a baseline as to where the  next
generation of PGP should go.

The fact there is no public established developer list is exactly the 
point -- there are clusters of informal communities, and what we want  to
do is to get those pulled together in an IETF framework to move  forward.

Also, you seem to have waited an AWFULLY long time before speaking  up.


I'll have to agree with Rodney here. :)

IMHO the Public Key Servers are more improtant to the contiuned
development and growth of PGP than any particular algortihm being used by
PGP. From the nuber of posts here on the topic it seems that it is of
great intrest to the members of the list.

Perhaps we need to create a draft RFC and working group on PGP keyserver
protocols as it seems the only ones making an decisions on this is PGP
Inc.
