I am hearing interest in these topics (a combination of things on this list

(1) Specify the way to use authenticated encryption in S/MIME.  Note that it 
is already done for CMS.

(2) Specify conventions for AES-CCM, AES-GCM, and ChaCha20 with Poly1305 
authenticated encryption algorithms.

(3) Specify conventions for using Curve25519 and Curve448 for key agreement.

(4) Specify conventions for using the CFRG chosen curves for elliptic curve 
digital signature.

(5) Specify a way to use PGP public keys in addition to PKIX certificates.

Anything else?

It would be good if "Domain-based signing and encryption using S/MIME"
(draft-melnikov-smime-msa-to-mda-04) can also be included.

Is this enough to re-charter the S/MIME WG?

I think so!
