Hi TLS folks,

Those who have worked with me know that I hate doing unnecessary work.  It
occurred to me that the TLS WG has been doing a lot of unnecessary work on
drafts that just register crypto algorithms.  This draft proposes that we
shouldn't do that.

Submitted for your consideration,
--Richard

A new version of Internet-Draft
draft-barnes-tls-this-could-have-been-an-email-00.txt has been successfully
submitted by Richard Barnes and posted to the
IETF repository.

Name:     draft-barnes-tls-this-could-have-been-an-email
Revision: 00
Title:    Stop Doing Cryptographic Algorithm Drafts when Email to IANA is
All You Need
Date:     2026-02-24
Group:    Individual Submission
Pages:    5
URL:
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-barnes-tls-this-could-have-been-an-email-00.txt

Abstract:

   People keep pitching drafts to the TLS Working Group where the only
   thing the draft does is register a code point for a cryptographic
   algorithm.  Stop doing that.  It's unnecessary.  Write an email to
   IANA instead.
