Steve, I'd like to thank you for working through these issues with me. I think the new texxt you added before approval is very helpful. You indicated you could add an additional sentence pointing out that multiple signed objects would need to be used in order to deal with phase 2 for end-entity certificates. While I think that would be reasonable to add, I also don't think it is necessary. I'm sorry the upgrade approach was not more obvious from the beginning. >>>>> "Stephen" == Stephen Kent <kent@xxxxxxx> writes: Stephen> I find your last sentence above confusing.

Excellent. Please consider it early input to the WG process that how the protocol deals with all of these issues should be documented. The sort of structure you adopted for the text added to cert profile seems like a fine style to use, although of course there are others that would also work. What I think is important is that the IESG and community at large be able to evaluate these transition issues when the protocol comes up for IETf review. In conclusion, thanks again for your help. I see you're giving a talk next Thursday on these issues at an ISOC chapter meeting; I hope to attend and better come up to speed. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
