Right. Though even that may change as IESG personnel change;-)

Anyway, yes the UTA BCP (BCP195. [1]) is almost certainly what
you'd reference when you next write an NTP RFC that mentions TLS.

I would guess that folks in the NTP wg would be the ones who'd
know whether writing a short RFC to make just that change is
worthwhile or not. So probably the next step is to ask that
question on the NTP wg list.

Cheers,
S.
