REQUEST: Let’s not rehash all the context.  It is provided for those who might 
not remember or those that were not around for the duration.

CONTEXT: Way back in 2016 after the WG had embarked on developing TLS 1.3, 
Peter Gutmann suggested that another way to “fix” TLS was to specify a version 
of TLS that indicates a “known-good config drawn from the maybe 10 
extension-RFCs”; see [0].  Peter submitted his “TLS 1.2 Update for Long-term 
Support”; see [1]. There was some list discussion; see [2]. Peter asked us 
about adopting the I-D; see [3]. He made changes based on that feedback; see 
[4]. At IETF 98, the WG discussed adopting this I-D and the sense of the room 
was to not adopt the I-D; see [5]. Progress on this document was paused while 
the WG worked on TLS 1.3. Once RFC 8447 was published, a code point was 
assigned for the “tls-lts” extensions; see [6] and [7]. Now that we are looking 
to publish Feature Freeze for TLS 1.2 [8][9] we want to make sure that the 
working group sentiment has not changed over time so we are running an adoption 
call for TLS-LTS. 

MESSAGE: This message is to judge consensus on whether there is support to 
adopt TLS 1.2 Update for Long-term Support; see [1].  If you support adoption 
and are willing to review and contribute text, please send a message to the 
list.  If you do not support adoption of this draft, please send a message to 
the list and indicate why.  This call will close on November X, 2024. 

Thanks,
spt

   Thanks to Peter because he helped us iron out the
   wrinkles in the tls-reg-review process.
