Hi Rich, Happy that my mail helped to spread
information about public side-meetings
:). The information on public side meetings was sent out with the final agenda. Anybody can request a public side-meeting in one of the two side-meeting rooms with WebEx meeting room
for remote participants. The meeting rooms are bookable the whole week (mostly 8:00 - 20:00). Public side-meetings are not approved or even reviewed by the IESG, and have no formal standing. https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/122/agenda https://www.ietf.org/forms/side-meetings/ https://trello.com/b/R7yDMPyl Some backstory on this particular
public
side-meeting: I commented earlier in LAMPS and TLS that I thought it was inappropriate for IETF poeple to only invite NIST and that it would be good to invite more countries for dialogue.
After that, several IETF participants and
government officials
said that they thought a public side-meeting on PQC would be a good idea.
There has also been a lot of discussion and speculation in several groups on what different countries recommend and require. The meeting is a public meeting where
_anybody_
from _any_
country is welcome. I do not represent the IETF in any way. I hope the meeting will lead to an open dialogue and
increased understanding between IETF people and government officials. The plan is not to have long presentations,
but if _anybody_
want to show a few slides to foster discussion they are very welcome to do so. Cheers, John |
