The “panel” is not secret.  The experts were identified when 
draft-ietf-tls-tls13 and draft-ietf-tls-iana-registry-updates were approved 
[0][1] and are/were enshrined in the IANA registry [2][3].

We are in the process of changing the archives to be public accessible.

Since you have been squatting on a code point for a bit [4], I am hoping that 
you can bear with us while we work the kinks out.
