I also do not think there is a rush or need to implement PQC authentication algorithms for TLS at this point.

I do not think we should adopt this draft at this time. I would prefer the WG focus its effort on key establishment.

Once those documents are complete, we can reconsider signature.

We are continuing with our WG adoption calls for the following I-D:
Use of ML-DSA in TLS 1.3 [1]; see [2] for more information about this tranche of adoption calls. If you support adoption and are willing to review and contribute text, please send a message to the list. If you do not support adoption of this draft, please send a message to the list and indicate why. This call will close at 2359 UTC on 29 April 2025.

Reminder:  This call for adoption has nothing to do with picking the mandatory-to-implement cipher suites in TLS.

Cheers,
Joe and Sean
