This message starts a 3-week Call for Adoption for this document.

Abstract:
   The Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol needs to share its
   ratchet_tree object to welcome new clients into a group and in
   external joins.  While the protocol only defines a mechanism for
   sharing the entire tree, most implementations use various
   optimizations to avoid sending this structure repeatedly in large
   groups.  This document describes a way to convey these improvements
   in a standardized way and to convey the parts of a GroupInfo object
   that are not visible to an intermediary server.
