Would it be proper for someone (such as myself) to simply write an RFC documenting the best current practice? Should this come prior to the formation of a working group (if one indeed occurs?)
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. randy
