Re: [TLS] chairs - please shutdown wiretapping discussion...

[Yaron Sheffer <[e-mail]>]

Hi Stephen,

Like you, I am very unhappy with this draft, and would not support its 
adoption as a WG draft. However I think that open discussion is in 
general good, and that the best venue for discussion of this draft is 
this mailing list. Even if some of this discussion devolves into generic 
"are we pro or against wiretapping" questions.

I don't think this is a significant distraction that could derail 
(D)TLS, moreover, you will recall that in Chicago several new drafts 
were adopted to the working group. So the WG does feel that TLS is in 
good enough shape that we can spend some bandwidth on other things.

Thanks,

     Yaron
