I would like to present 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-vaughn-tlstm-update-01/ 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-vaughn-tlstm-update-01/>. This document 
is a proposal to update to RFC 6353 (TLS Transport Model for SNMP) to reflect 
the needs of TLS 1.3. 
As a little bit of background, SNMP is widely used within Intelligent 
Transportation Systems (ITS) to monitor, manage and control field devices, as 
defined in the National Transportation Communication for ITS Protocols (NTCIP) 
standards, ISO standards, and specifications in the United Kingdom. As you may 
know, CISA has declared the transportation infrastructure to be “critical 
infrastructure”, and the ITS community is very interested in ensuring that this 
infrastructure is adequately protected, especially as these systems are 
increasingly relied upon by modern connected vehicles. 

RFC 6353 defines how to use (D)TLS 1.2 authentication to control data access 
within SNMP. Unfortunately, its design is not entirely compatible with TLS 1.3. 
As such, the ITS community is interested in producing an update to RFC 6353 and 
believes it would be in everyone's best interests to produce this document as 
an IETF publication, assuming that its development can proceed in a timely 
manner. 
In an effort to promote further discussion on this topic, the NTCIP and ISO 
communities have requested that I reach out to the IETF to initiate a 
conversation on this topic. I was originally directed to the SECDISPATCH group 
and based on my presentation to that group at IETF 111, the decision was made 
to redirect this effort to OPSAWG. The presentation I made to the SECDISPATCH 
group is available at https://trevilon.com/download/RFC6353Proposal.pptx 
<https://trevilon.com/download/RFC6353Proposal.pptx>; this presentation 
explains the motivation behind this update proposal.

Many thanks for your considerations and I look forward to our future 
discussions. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Regards,
Ken Vaughn
