hi TLS WG, Thank you for your input during the consensus call to add ticket reuse text to draft-ietf-tls-ticketrequests. What we see are some very strongly held positions on both sides of this issue, but what we do not see is consensus to add text to support the ticket reuse case. What this means is that the status quo from C.4 of RFC 8446 stands. The chairs do not believe the SHOULD NOT from RFC 8446 needs to be repeated in this draft.
We will note however that we do see some potential for emerging consensus to add a second counter. To expedite reaching consensus on this point, we will run another separate consensus call to determine whether to add a second counter. Likewise, we note that PR#18 [0] includes editorial changes as well as text from PR#17 [1] that will be merged if we decide to add a second counter.
