Re: [TLS] TLS@IETF101 Agenda Posted

Hi Stephen,

In the meeting in Prague there was interest in this problem space, but
neither the consensus to accept or reject this work.  The authors have
revised their proposal to address some of the concerns raised by working
group members and are asking to bring the new approach in front of the
working group.  I believe in this case this is the right thing to do even
if it appears there is some repetition of topic.   However, if the new
approach fails to achieve significantly more support I believe the authors
will need to find another path for their work that does not go through the
TLS working group.

Cheers,

Joe
