OpenPGP Design Team Meeting
2021-10-08

Present

	* dkg
	* gniibe
	* daniel huigens
	* justus
	* stephen (late)

Agenda:

# Open, approved MRs

 - reviewed approved MRs

 - MR 71 -- concerns from Justus about being unable to easily downgrade/upgrade between subkeys and primary keys.  Justus will add a comment to MR 71

 - MR 64: Huigens will take another stab at revising the tables

We have interop work happening already on Option 8 for Curve448 (see MR 66)

Everyone on the call believes that Paul should feel free to merge all approved MRs:  35, 69, 70, 71, 72

# Next meeting

- Monday 12:30 UTC

# discussion about shape of drafts

IETF draft cutoff date is Oct 25

plan was to try to release a draft early next week.  a few possible approaches:

- A) release a draft that contains all of the outstanding AEAD changes, followed shortly (a week later?) by a draft that includes curve448.  Stephen points out that we need to be clear to the readers that this is happening, and see whether Paul is OK with the work of releasing two drafts.

- B) include 448 without !64 -- just textual descriptions, no tables -- needs text proposed

- C) delay draft release, and just release a single draft containing all current work plus curve448.

Stephen has given paul a heads-up and we'll make a decision on Monday's meeting
