Re: [secdir] secdir review of draft-moonesamy-sshfp-ed25519-01

Hi Dick,

RFC 5781 mentions a protocol.  There isn't any reference to the 
protocol.  The RFC is normatively referenced in a Proposed 
Standard.  According to the document shepherd it "is a mandated to 
appear in some protocol [1] messages, and so the normative reference 
is appropriate".

This draft is related to cryptography.  It is difficult to find 
people with the necessary expertise to review drafts about 
cryptography.  It is even more difficult to get people to do the 
review for free.

The reason for this work is get a code point assignment that requires 
IETF Consensus.  The assignment does not negatively impact 
interoperability or otherwise extend IETF protocols in an 
inappropriate or damaging manner.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
