[Plants] Re: Call for adoption: draft-gray-plants-mtc-deploy-use-cases-01 (Ends 2026-10-02)

[Thom Wiggers <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

At this moment we have not received that many responses yet to this call for adoption: there are 380+ people on this mailing list so I would like to hear a little bit more.

Please also note that supporting a call for adoption means that you think that what’s discussed in the draft is worth talking about in the working group. It does not mean that you support (all of the) the current content of the draft or that you think the draft should be published as RFC as is or even at all.

So TL;DR: please respond, positively or negatively, if you think that the working group should put “MTC use cases outside of WebPKI” on its agenda.

Regards,

Thom Wiggers
