Re: [dane] Protocol Action: 'The DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol: TLSA' to Proposed Standard (draft-ietf-dane-protocol-23.txt)

[Warren Kumari <[e-mail]>]

Hello all,

The chairs would like to take this opportunity to thank the the entire Working Group for all of their hard work, input, careful review and professionalism. 
Particular thanks to the authors (Paul Hoffman, Jakob Schlyter) for managing to interpret our often poorly articulated instructions and for being willing to so quickly integrate changes and rev the document….

We have made some great progress now (although it has taken much longer than we had hoped, apologies for that), and can now start focusing on:
A: deployment and 
B: the "How to do DANE with $foo" series.

Once again, thank you to everyone for contributing, and trying to remain civil / willing to listen to opposing viewpoints.

Q. Is it sensible to top-post?
