[TLS] Call for Consensus: ECC on standards track

[Sean Turner <[e-mail]>]

WG Members,

Based on the mailing list discussion, the chairs believe that there is
strong support to publish TLS ECC Cipher Suites on the Standards
Track

- Should we include TLS ECC Cipher Suites for AES-GCM
  directly in the TLS 1.3 document (and hence on the Standards Track).

- Should we reclassify the TLS ECC Cipher Suites that correspond
  to currently recommended ciphers as  Standards Track. If there is
  general consensus for this, the chairs will solicit/develop a detailed
  proposals, but this will presumably include AES-GCM, not include
  RC4, and we'll have do debate AES-CBC.

Note that we are not currently calling for consensus on whether
ECC-based cipher suites should be MTI for TLS 1.3. We expect
that to be a topic of a separate discussion later in the TLS 1.3
process.
