The chairs are issuing a one week working group last call on the document draft-ietf-jose-jwk-thumbprint to see where we stand. The chairs believe that the document has addressed all of the issues raised during the previous last call except for the question of changing the serialization format of the string to be hashed to compute the thumbprint value.
The previous discussion on the serialization did not reach a consensus either to keep or change serialization string method. Given this the decision to keep the previous one is a conservative decision. If people want to re-litigate this issue and try to come to a consensus this is the time to do it. Starting the shepherd report raised the question of the correct track for this document. It is currently standards track. Given that it is only defining an algorithm, it might be reasonable to change it to informational. We would like to get peoples opinion this question. If there is no big mail storm, then I would expect that we will progress the document to the IESG after the last call finishes. Last call will finish on March 9th. Jim
