Hello,
 Having seen the current discussion for TLS 1.3, I have some proposal.
Since the changes requested are large, I'd suggest not to design TLS 1.3
in this working group. I'd suggest this working group to set the specs
for the next TLS version (and better name it 2.0), and then announce a
competition for the initial draft of the protocol. Then have the WG
review the submitted proposals in a year or two, accept a winner, and
the WG starts working on the winning draft.

I'm pretty sure there are many research groups that will be honoured
to join such a competition and their results may outperform the
results of the limited number of participants in the working group.

best regards,
Nikos
