As it happens, Jake was talking to IETF people recently; it seems reformatting the existing spec into RFC format and calling it an Informational RFC should work. I spoke to him this past week, and Jake has volunteered to give the first draft a go. As far as a non-profit goes, I don't see the overhead as being worth it. We already have a tax-deductible way to donate to OTR, both in Canada and the US [http://otr.cypherpunks.ca/donate.php], which is better than a non-profit we set up could do. As was mentioned upthread, the key is just to be able to effectively organize and utilize people who have the desire and ability to contribute. - Ian _______________________________________________ OTR-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cypherpunks.ca/mailman/listinfo/otr-dev
