Hi, folks.  Back in January Derek started a thread on a new charter.
That never really came to any conclusion.  I had given Derek a
deadline to produce a charter that is well past.  So, I'm going to
close the openpgp working group.

If people ever do get a concrete proposal together, please don't
hesitate to contact the security ADs at the time this happens and
propose a new working group.


If this has indeed happened, I guess the next step is creating enough momentum for V5 key structure.

How much enthusiasm is there for this? Enough to generate some consensus? Is there a business case for a redesign? How much are groups going to invest into OpenPGP in the future, and how much would they save if a redesign cleaned things up?

If the answer is in the positive, I'd suggest putting in place a wiki somewhere. We need some way of working on the various parts in parallel.
