Thank you, Ben. In the blog, there are few suggestions around how site owners 
can be notified when changes to their certificates  are detected. This 
technically allows the site owner to be in full control of decision making with 
respect to "his" certificates and decide whether newly reported certificates 
are fraudulent or not. This solution has some interesting privacy preserving 
properties to it that we would like to present at the WG meeting. You are right 
that the goal of this proposal is not to provide public logs.

I think this is great stuff, but is it appropriate for trans? It doesn't 
involve a public log at all (why not?) - perhaps better suited for the tls WG 
meeting? Or are you considering aligning with the goals of the trans WG?
