Hi Viktor, While there is overlap between professional behavior and the perceived focus on browser specific use cases; I think we should try to separate out the topic. We should make sure that different perspectives are welcome and heard on the list, however it will not always be the case that we will have consensus to move the discussion forward on a particular topic, which will limit continued discussion of that topic. For topics that are not broadly applicable to main TLS use cases there may be more appropriate groups such as UTA or EMU. This is probably something we can address better in the TLS WG FAQ [1].
