*** RL still investigating the best practices for transitioning to a new signing key. TM suggested a transitional period during which both keys are used to sign messages, after which we might revoke the old key. RL to check whether the e-mail address for the old key ID, ngp-approval-key@ngp.big-8.org, is set up to autorespond with the public key. TM suggested that for the new key, we may want to change e-mail associated with the primary ID to something like ngp-approval-key@big-8.org so as to avoid use of a mail subdomain (and the associated problems).
