Hi all, this call was running until last Friday and we have to conclude that we could not achieve rough consensus. There was a slight preference to adopt tcpyrypt but not enough to finally make a decision. Moreover, as the authors of the tcpcrypt draft have submitted an new doc and indicated that they will also revise the tcpcrypt doc, it is anyway not appropriate to adopt the current version now.
In more detail, we have seen - 6 people supporting TCP-TLS (option a) + one more after the deadline - 11 people supporting tcpcrypt (option b) - 5 people supporting adoption of both, where 2 indicated that either as a starting point would be fine and one indicated that (s)he would also support tcpcrypt as a starting point Further just to make the statistics complete, there were 7 additional people supporting adoption of both docs in the call before the meeting that did not re-vote in the last call. Note that the call before the meeting had a slightly different question with only two options: adopt both or the AD will chose one. Further as another side info, 3 people that indicated in this first call to support adoption of both, re-decided in the second call to support tcpycryt (only). That might be an indication that also people that have indicated support for one approach, might be willing to adopt both approaches as wg items. However, I know that's only speculation. Please also note that adoption does not mean that the content will stay is it is, not that the doc will be published at all; it only mean that there is interest of the wg and the change control will go over to the working group. I will send two additional emails next: 1) a brief summery of arguments provided for and against the two approaches; I hope that further will help the discussion. 2) more information on how to move forward: as there already has been quite a bit positive feedback on the new tcp-eno draft, it seems to be the right way forward to focus on this document first; I’m currently mailing with the authors to figure out their further plan. Stay tuned, I'll provide more information soon! However, thanks for the lively discussion over the last days. I think that was still helpful and please go on!
