The WGLC for ECDHE-MLKEM key agreement has concluded. The general consensus expressed during the call was that the document is fine as is, with all algorithms marked as N in an information document and should be moved forward. There was a contingent of participants who wanted to make various changes to the Recommended column for one or more algorithms, however, there was no consensus to be found as to which combination of algorithms should be marked as Y or N. There was no consensus to split the document or to add algorithms. There was rough consensus on not delaying the document any further.
Based on this the chairs feel that the action most reflective of working group consensus is to progress the document with the Recommended column as is (all algorithms set to N). The Recommended column can be updated in the future based on standards action or IESG Approval.
