Jack, There's a bunch here to unpack.
First, the purpose of the current registry structure was to allow code point registration without forcing the TLS WG to spend time on documents that don't generally meet its goals. This seems like one such document. WRT to your points about the benefits of RFC status: 1. Having this approved through the IETF process vs, just ISE would be beneficial to those wishing to adopt. Why would this be the case? The only reason I can think of is that having it be an IETF document would imply that the IETF thought it was OK. But this is the situation we are trying to avoid with the Not Recommended label. 2. Having this go through the IETF process would get you community review. Again, here, the idea with the new process is that we don't force the TLS WG to do that work. Obviously, individuals should feel free to review this document or not as they please, but I'm not seeing any compelling reason why TLS-WG should take it on. -Ekr On Wed, Feb 27, 2019 at 11:49 AM Jack Visoky <jmvis...@ra.rockwell.com> wrote: > Hi Eric, > > > > Our goal is to have an RFC published as Informational and with the Not > Recommended status.
