+1. I would support adoption of draft-reddy-tls-composite-mldsa; would like to implement in the Windows TLS/PKI stacks.

Cheers,

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [TLS] Attestation and request for expediting the call for adoption of draft-reddy-tls-composite-mldsa

Dear Deirdre, Joe, and Sean,

I would like to attest to this work and request you to please expedite the call for adoption of the subject draft.

Thank you.

---

Hi authors,

Thank you for the great work. Please let me know whatever I can do in my capacity in order to make it adoption-ready.

One request I have is to revisit the selection criteria (sec. 4) and may try to shortlist and reduce the number of algorithms. I believe so many algorithms may lead to fragmentation. Thank you.

Best regards,

-Usama
