At the trust tussle Interim in October we had consensus that the working
group was interested in working on the following problem:

“Avoid client trust conflicts by enabling servers to reliably and
efficiently support clients with diverse trust anchor lists, particularly
in larger PKIs where the existing certificate_authorities extension is not
viable”

After IETF 121, we asked for submissions for possible working group
adoption as a starting point for this work. We received two submissions:

[1] Trust Anchor Identifiers, draft-beck-tls-trust-anchor-ids-03
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-beck-tls-trust-anchor-ids/>

[2] Trust is non-negotiable, draft-jackson-tls-trust-is-nonnegotiable-00
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-jackson-tls-trust-is-nonnegotiable/>

[1] defines a new protocol mechanism, while [2] provides an explanation of
why the mechanism in [1] may not be needed and may be problematic. Since
the second draft does not define a protocol mechanism we are not
considering it for adoption, but we request that working group members
review both documents and use [2] as input into determining whether we
should adopt [1] as a working group item.  Adoption as a working group item
means the working group has change control over and can modify it as
necessary; an adopted document is only a starting point.  Please respond to
this thread if you think the document should be adopted as a working group
item. If you think the document is not appropriate for adoption please
indicate why.  This adoption call will close on February 7, 2025.  Also
please remember to maintain professional behavior and keep the discussion
focused on technical issues.


Thanks,


Sean, Deirdre and Joe
