Anyway, we are a couple of guys who once more would like to have a stab at
a public definition on how PGP keys should be stored in a LDAP directory.
I wrote a I-D a couple of years ago but we where not able then to agree on a
standard that would allow you to store several PGP keys for one object.
LDAP & PGP
Recently I learned about discussion concerning how to store PGP keys
in LDAP directories. This would be out of scope for our current WG
charter. I plan to put a discussion of whether to expand our charter
to include this on the agenda for the meeting next Monday.
PGP/MIME
The other work item for our charter, PGP/MIME hasn't gotten much
attention. Kazu Yamamoto keeps reminding me about this. I've
finally succumbed and invited him to write a new draft for PGP/MIME.
It is too late for it to appear in the I-D directory, however, I've
suggested Kazu send it to the mailing list in advance of the meeting,
so you have a chance to see it. We'll get it -- and future revisions
-- posted as proper I-Ds, so we won't have to annoy you with large
messages, and so we insure we're properly documenting our work.
RFC2440
A few nits have been noted in the Proposed Standard (I do like saying
that). Since there hasn't been a great deal of discussion about
them, this will be on the agenda. Also, I want to outline the steps
for getting to Draft Standard.
This is what I have currently. Unless anyone offers any other
topics, we probably will not fill the two hours -- which will allow
more terminal room time for those inclined (or other entertainments).
If there is anything else you'd like to talk about, now would be a
real good time to tell me about them.
