Nothing says that we can't finish things sooner than defined by the milestones on the charter (I'm not quite sure how those got defined,because I think we can finish sooner, but Working Group chairs and IETFArea Directors tend to be conservative about milestones).
That's good to hear and quite a relief. The current situation of having only XEP-0027 for E2E encryption is quite limiting.
Feel free to help in that effort instead of continually beating the dead horse ofESessions. Indeed, once I convert XEP-0210 to an Internet-Draft thatspecifies our requirements, you are free to write an Internet-Draft that proposes ESessions as the preferred direction for end-to-end encryptionto meet those requirements (yes, the IETF is an open standards organization!).
I'm not quite familiar with how such processes at the IETF work, but if my time allows me to, I will look how the process works and help where I can. (Keep in mind I have no PhD in cryptography, my only concern was that we were reinventing the wheel because we already had stuff that even works. I'm fine with another standard than ESessions, but no matter which standard it will be, it needs to get done ASAP. We've been talking about this for over a year already and there's still no standard everybody agreed on, not even to talk about a client implementing it).
