I would like to thank Ben as well.  He has done an exemplar job as AD.

I would also like to thank my co-chairs Chris and Joe.  Both Chris and Joe participated in a side meeting at IETF 102 as well as the virtual interim in September solely dedicated to this draft.

As co-chair, I feel like I have not done the greatest job during this effort, as I noted at the mic at IETF 103.  I will repeat what I said at the mic - this was not my/our finest hour.

The chairs are trying to learn from our mistakes.  We are planning to have post mortem discussion with our AD as soon as reasonably possible to learn for our mistakes. If anyone wants to provide feedback please do so either directly to Ben (mailto:kaduk@MIT.EDU), us (mailto:tls-chairs@ietf.org), the IETF chair (mailto:chair@ietf.org), or the ombudsteam (see https://www.ietf.org/contact/ombudsteam/).
