The latter, and a bit of the former:-)

The charter text tries to do that generically but does mention
TLS specifically in this bit:

  "Where there is an IETF working group or area group with expertise in
   a relevant topic the CURDLE working group will defer to the
   consensus of the more specific working group as to where work will
   be done. For example, the TLS, OpenPGP and IPSECME WGs are actively
   considering some of these topics. "

Cheers,
