I'm confused by the characterization of the work as "closed". As an 
interested outside observer I could easily follow the group's process 
via the mailing list 
(https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/openpgp/), and I notice that 
you have also posted to that list on a number of occasions.

Obviously a consensus-based process will reject some inputs. That fact 
by itself does not seem unusual to me.
If you have pointers to important input that you feel was unreasonably 
rejected on the mailing list, I'd be interested to see those.

Thanks,
Heiko
