i think we are using the wrong mailing list for this discussion.
but a wg is spun up
o if there is work to be done that needs development and consensus. as
you sound like you plan to document an existing protocol, this is not
the case
o if you do think there is work to be done that needs development and
consensus, then we usually see if there is sufficient momentum by having
a bof
o these days, unless a topic is obviously hot, to get a bof slot needs
a bit of homework, namely an active discussion usually happing on a
work-item-specific mailing list and an internet-draft either published
(as -00 or whatever) or at least well along in process
i suspect that this discussion is best held elsewhere. i would have said
the pgp-keyserver-folk@flame.org list, except it seems to be oriented toward
one semi-commercial product. but i am most likely misconstruing it.
