Hi,

I have reviewed the draft and I have some comments. If these are fixed I think 
the document is ready for publishing.

Major:

>This SHOULD be TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2, depending on the circumstances
>described in the above paragraphs.
This could be interpretated as TLS 1.1 can be supported on a SHOULD NOT level. 
This must be rewritten to align with BCP 195, which states: "TLS 1.1 MUST NOT 
be used. Negotiation of TLS 1.1 from any version of TLS MUST NOT be permitted."
Anything opening up for supporting or using TLS 1.1 is not ok.

Minor:

>TLS 1.2 is in widespread use
This will not age well. I suggest removing widespead.

>Cryptographically-relevant quantum computers, once available,
>will have a huge impact on TLS.
CRQCs will have a huge imact on TLS before they exist. Hopefully they
will not have any impact on TLS when/if they exist as TLS then is
100% quantum-resistant.

This seems a bit outdated now. The most important info should be that NIST in 
2024 standardized ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA in FIPS 203-205. I think you 
should have
links to these.

>Any new protocol that uses TLS MUST specify as its default TLS 1.3.
This does not age well if TLS 1.4 is done. I suggest changing to 1.3 or later.

Cheers,
John

Hi,

this message starts a two-week Working Group Last Call for
draft-ietf-uta-require-tls13-02
(New Protocols Must Require TLS 1.3). The WGLC will end on December 17,
2024.

Please send your comments to the list. Note, that TLS WG has issued a WGLC
for draft-ietf-tls-tls12-frozen-02 (TLS 1.2 is in Feature Freeze) [1].
You may want to review both documents at the same time since they are
related.

Regards,
Valery.
