Hi,

We've talked about client certificates in HTTP/2 (and elsewhere) for a while, but the discussion has stalled.

I've heard from numerous places that this is causing Pain. So, I'd like to devote a chunk of our time in Yokohama to discussing this.

If you have a proposal or thoughts that might become a proposal in this area, please brush it off and be prepared. Of course, we can discuss on-list in the meantime.

Cheers,
