OpenPGP agenda for Dec 7




Anyway, we are a couple of guys who once more would like to have a stab at a public definition on how PGP keys should be stored in a LDAP directory. I wrote a I-D a couple of years ago but we where not able then to agree on a standard that would allow you to store several PGP keys for one object.

LDAP & PGP
Recently I learned about discussion concerning how to store PGP keys in LDAP directories. This would be out of scope for our current WG charter. I plan to put a discussion of whether to expand our charter to include this on the agenda for the meeting next Monday.


PGP/MIME
The other work item for our charter, PGP/MIME hasn't gotten much attention. Kazu Yamamoto keeps reminding me about this. I've finally succumbed and invited him to write a new draft for PGP/MIME. It is too late for it to appear in the I-D directory, however, I've suggested Kazu send it to the mailing list in advance of the meeting, so you have a chance to see it. We'll get it -- and future revisions -- posted as proper I-Ds, so we won't have to annoy you with large messages, and so we insure we're properly documenting our work.


RFC2440
A few nits have been noted in the Proposed Standard (I do like saying that). Since there hasn't been a great deal of discussion about them, this will be on the agenda. Also, I want to outline the steps for getting to Draft Standard.


This is what I have currently. Unless anyone offers any other topics, we probably will not fill the two hours -- which will allow more terminal room time for those inclined (or other entertainments). If there is anything else you'd like to talk about, now would be a real good time to tell me about them.
