Dear Colleagues The editors of draft-ietf-dane-smime have requested that draft be put on hold for at least a year to see how the OPENPGP “experiment” works out. The chairs have agreed with this request.
Given the proliferation of S/MIME use in corporate environments this seems quite short-sighted to me as well (having responsibility for one such environment).
I was even more surprised to see this action in the WG milestones datatracker at effectively the same time this was posted to the mailing list:
2015-06-29 Ólafur Guðmundsson Changed milestone "Advance DANE operational guidance/errata document to IESG", set due date to August 2016 from September 2014
I'd have thought changes such as these were normally discussed among the WG before being effectuated and new contributors solicited when appropriate.
Furthermore, I see no defensible reason why an "OPENPGP "experiment"" would be blocking on this work - quite the contrary, actually. Had there been an actual discussion on this already-a-year-overdue-WG-milestone I suspect a responsible action would have been to find some new editors.
As such, I hereby respectively request that the chairs reconsider this matter or present new facts in support of their decision.
Thanks in advance, -danny _______________________________________________ dane mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dane
