This is too little too late.

This wishy washy "we believe in security but don't like to actually
use it ourselves" is not the leadership IETF should be providing to
the internet. The internet has already been harmed by too many years
of security that is not turned on.

Take a hum at next plenary and find out if people want the IETF to
actually use security or not.

Or we can put this in place and then measure who continues to access
in clear and see what that tells us.

Maybe a hum at a plenary is a bit too large a hammer to bring out for
this fairly modest nail.

Everywhere for the IETF," please see [1] for the current text.

We are seeking community feedback on this and welcome assistance

The IESG plans to finalise this statement just after IETF-93 in
Prague.
