Hi,
I think that this is an excellent idea. I have re-read the document
and it succinctly outlines the fallacies of weak/escrowed etc. crypto.
I can think of no better way for the IAB and IESG to respond to
cryptowars II than reissue their position from cryptowars I.
The publicity of the change may also enable people engaging
in cryptowars II to sum their positions simply as "read RFC1984".
Sincerely, Hugo Connery

reserved for "the right time", got to bite a second time.
