RE: [W3C Web Crypto WG] Security considerations and recommended algorithms bug

Harry,

20th is the end of big collection related to Last call, not resolution, right ? (just shaking we don’t put pressure on Ryan and Mark by making them solving the 52 bugs open at the moment)

Regards,
virginie

As long as the author responds to your response that they are satisfied or they never respond, then we can assume they are satisfied. If they respond they are unsatisfied, then we just keep iterating with them until a reasonable solution is found. Rich does seem unsatisfied, as noted by the "kind" of bug he filed.

Working Group members can also "formally object" but luckily I don't think we have that situation.

Before we exit Last Call on the 20th, I'll make a document showing the status of the bugs and how we have resolved them.

  yours,
    harry
