The IESG has received a request from the Transport Layer Security WG

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2009-12-14. Exceptionally,
comments may be sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case,

retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
I oppose publishing the current draft.
There are two unresolved issues still being discussed on the TLS mailing list:
1. non-extension signaling for older versions (SSLv3 and maybe TLS 1.0)
2. explicit vs implicit addition of old verify_data to the PRF (also known as
fail-unsafe vs fail-safe)
I think the WG is converging, and that a couple of more weeks of discussion may
lead to consensus.
I agree with David-Sarah Hopwood that a last call (WG or IETF) is still
premature.
