Please respond in the next week so I can collect the responses

Here's some things I think should be put on the table:

* PFS
* New symmetric ciphers, e.g. Camillia
* Elliptic Curve / Suite B Crypto
* AHS support
* Exotic Signatures (Dan Nagy mentioned this)
* Extended Fingerprints
* OpenPGP/MIME improvements

Something on the order of that list, I agree.  P.s. for those
who care we had a discussion about Elliptic Curve over on the openssl
list recently.  The point being I agree with the work item and I think
others would too.


I'm sure there are others I may have forgotten. Not being on that list doesn't mean that I think it should be excluded. Also, being on that list only means we will discuss or create drafts. We might decide that discussion doesn't get to a draft, or draft doesn't get to RFC. If something isn't in the charter, we won't discuss it. So being in the charter only means a willingness to discuss.

concur...
