Subject: Call for adoption: draft-kohbrok-mls-virtual-clients (Ends 2025-11-25) This message starts a 3-week Call for Adoption for this document. Abstract: This document describes a method that allows multiple MLS clients to emulate a virtual MLS client. A virtual client allows multiple emulator clients to jointly participate in an MLS group under a single leaf. Depending on the design of the application, virtual clients can help hide metadata and improve performance. File can be retrieved from: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kohbrok-mls-virtual-clients/ Please reply to this message keeping mls@ietf.org in copy by indicating whether you support or not the adoption of this draft as a WG document. Comments to motivate your preference are highly appreciated. Authors, and WG participants in general, are reminded of the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) disclosure obligations described in BCP 79 [2]. Appropriate IPR disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 [1] and BCP 79 [2] must be filed, if you are aware of any. Sanctions available for application to violators of IETF IPR Policy can be found at [3]. Thank you.
