Keith-
I am IN favor of you recruiting different people to respond to helping
address the issues of security and scheme problems. This ratification
process has taken a VERY long time and any knowledge that may help speed
up the process would be welcome.
I am also interested in hearing the final opinion (concerns and
compliments) of IESG regarding the latest IPP proposals.

>> - I will recruit experts from the web and TLS communities to design
