    <p>Dear Robert and Peter,</p>
    <p>Thank you for sharing IEEE 802.11 WG position.<span

      <pre class=3D"moz-quote-pre" wrap=3D"">The IEEE 802.11 Working Grou=
p would like to express support for publication of draft-ietf-tls-mlkem a=
s an RFC with its definition of key establishment options that use pure M=
L-KEM.</pre>
    </blockquote>
    <p>I was actually hoping to see some <i>technical rationale</i> for
      support of publication. The attachment to the LS just repeats the
      same statement. Am I missing something? If not, may I kindly ask
      if you could possibly enlighten us with technical reasons behind
      this support? In particular, has IEEE 802.11 WG done some
      research, such as cryptanalysis? Pointers to the analysis would be
      very helpful.</p>
    <p>Moreover, was the IEEE 802.11 WG aware of this recent draft [0]?
      In the light of this, I am curious if IEEE 802.11 WG still
      believes there is <i>real need</i> for RFC.</p>
    <p>Finally, I would like to know if IEEE 802.11 WG position is that
      this RFC should be published independent of recommending hybrids
      [1]?<br>
    </p>
    <p>Looking forward to more insights.</p>
    <p>Thank you!</p>
    <p>Best regards,</p>
    <p>-Usama<br>
