[Dean Coclin]

Yes, there are open slots and I can add it. Assume you will lead the discussion.

Are there still any slots to fill?  I think it would be good to discuss the way forward (if indeed there is one!) for CT domain redaction.

A number of groups are doing work on new algorithms that are not likely to be memorialized in a FIPS or will take a very long time to do so.  These include EdDSA (including Ed25519 and Ed448) from Dan Bernstein and the IRTF/IETF, SM2 & SM3 from the China Office of State Commercial Cryptography Administration, GOST R 34.10-2012 from the Euroasian Interstate Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification, and ECGDSA from Germany, and ECKCDSA from Korea.  Additionally there are “Post-Quantum” algorithms coming down the pipeline that will arrive at some future point.

Are there places where they are not clear or where they can be interpreted to ban practices the Forum feels are appropriate?  As they are a separate document from the BRs, do trust store maintainers expect that all CAs (whether for SSL or not) are audited as meeting the requirements or do they only apply to “SSL” CAs?
