Hey folks, I'm excited to see interest in the topic, and I'm sorry I wasn't involved in the conversation y'all apparently had last week. While I have opinions, I think I'll leave discussion of the wider CH infrastructure to clever folks like +Ilya Grigorik <igrigorik@google.com> and +Yoav Weiss <yoavweiss@google.com>, who know more about the background and context than I do. They will likely have opinions about the most effective places to have conversations about that (which is a little confusing at the moment, as things are sliding between IETF, W3C, WICG, etc).

I find issues filed there to be pretty useful in focusing conversations, and creating an easily-linked archive for future perusal. I'd be happy to chat with y'all about your concerns for these specific proposals there if you like. WICG has good-enough IP protection for folks who care about that sort of thing, which makes it convenient, but I'd be equally happy to discuss in some other forum if that's simpler for y'all. -mike P.S. Please do feel free to CC me on emails if my feedback would be helpful. I'm _really_ bad at following lists these days. I'm almost equally bad at responding to more direct pings, but there's at least a chance... :)
