Re: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-smime-ecc-00.txt

I am very uncomfortable discussing this draft in the WG. Certicom has just 
posted their intellectual property statement at 
<http://www.ietf.org/ietf/IPR/CERTICOM-SMIME>, and it is completely vague 
and useless. It doesn't even say which of our protocols they think they 
have patents in.
Why are we helping a company like this make threats against the S/MIME market?
