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.
Another approach would be to progress the SMIME document now and update
or obsolete it once the results of the OpenPGP experiment are known.
