[TLS] Re: WG Adoption Call for Post-Quantum Hybrid ECDHE-MLKEM Key Agreement for TLSv1.3

[Sean Turner <[e-mail]>]

Hi! It looks like we have consensus to adopt this draft as a working group item.  Couple of things to note:

1. Authors, please submit the draft named as: draft-ietf-tls-ecdhe-mlkem
2. Authors, please make no changes other than the boilerplate, e.g., name, dates to the -00 WG version
3. WG: We will continue on with the other WG adoption calls as discussed on list and at IETF 122.

Cheers,
spt
