As co-author I support adoption of the draft and appreciate the feedback.

The authors agreed at the time that the OPSEC WG charter would better match our 
intention of documenting the BCP for TLS proxies given that the TLS WG charter 
places more of an emphasis on the TLS protocol.  Having said that, we do also 
agree that the TLS WG should be involved.  The recommendation from the TLS WG 
chairs was to continue in OPSEC and to cc the TLS WG.
