Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   Use of TLS 1.3 is growing and fixes some known deficiencies in TLS
   1.2.  This document specifies that outside of urgent security fixes,
   new TLS Exporter Labels, or new Application-Layer Protocol
   Negotiation (ALPN) Protocol IDs, no changes will be approved for TLS
   1.2.  This prescription does not pertain to DTLS (in any DTLS
   version); it pertains to TLS only.

Working Group Summary

   No issues and broad consensus
   Informational Track was originally requested, but after discussions with
   IANA and the AD it was changed to Standards Track because the I-D updates
   registration procedures for a number of registries.

  
Document Quality

  This does not define a protocol. Text is clear on IANA updates.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Sean Turner. The Responsible
   Area Director is Paul Wouters.
