There appears to be significant support for the removal of GMT from the client
and server random values in TLS. The chairs would like to ask two questions:

- Should we remove the GMT values from the client and server values in TLS 1.3?

- Should we remove the GMT fields from the current versions of TLS and adopt
draft-mathewson-no-gmtunixtime-00 or something similar?

If you have an opinion on this topic, please reply to the TLS list with your reasons by Friday, June 20

Joe
