Thanks.  Do you have a timeline for when you will have this decision?
While we have procedures in place for signing/revoking keys whenever
necessary in the event of a key compromise, ordinarily this KEK key is not
available for signing.  We have a window when we will be able to do this
signing from September 25 to September 29 and after that we do not have a
window scheduled until next year, so it would be good to know before then
what format you need this signed key matter to be provided in.
