Re: [TLS] UPDATED Last Call: <draft-ietf-tls-tls13-24.txt> (The Transport Layer Security (TLS) Protocol Version 1.3) to Proposed Standard

[Sean Turner <[e-mail]>]

The difference here is that this LC includes all of the downrefs according to the process described in [0].  Including the downward references to non-stardards track RFCs will ensure we’re not delayed due to process issues.  Most of these are as a result of how we publish algorithm drafts, i.e., from the CFRG through through the IRTF stream, and none are a surprise.
