Re: [MLS] I-D Action: draft-ietf-mls-federation-01.txt

Hey Tom,

The idea behind this document was to give a high-level overview and to get the discussion started. It’s not a normative document, so I think it could act as an umbrella document that references more concrete specs for the various elements it describes. The outcome might also be that there will be different flavours of federated AS & DS, depending on the security, privacy and functional requirements of the applications. I’m definitely interested in working on some more specific specs.
