The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Transport Layer Security Protocol Compression Methods '
   <draft-ietf-tls-compression-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Transport Layer Security Working Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Steve Bellovin and Russ Housley.

Technical Summary
 
 TLS (and SSL before it) have long had a hook for a compression method, but 
none was ever defined.  This defines one such method, and sets out the 
mechanisms for defining others.
 
Working Group Summary
 
 There were no major issues raised in the working group.
 
Protocol Quality
 
 This document was reviewed for the IESG by Steve Bellovin.
