If you already started your NM process and your key was accepted for identification, when you finish NM, DAM will request us to add your key to the keyring. We might not love adding a new 1024D key, but we will do it (as we trust the process started before the deadline we set). You can otherwise also ask your AM to re-do the identification part with your new key - The process will be up to him. In any case, if he accepted your 1024D key, you can present a mail signed with your OLD key, stating the full fingerprint for both keys and the reasons for the change. Do this when the new key has already been signed by a DD. Please note that, although your key can be accepted as new with only one signature, in order to replace your key we require two (to protect your identity to be "stolen" by a single evil-minded DDs. Yes, we do have evil-minded DDs!)
