On June 27, 2006, the IESG approved "Transport Layer Security (TLS) Authorization Extensions," (draft-housley-tls-authz-extns) as a proposed standard. On November 29, 2006, Redphone Security (with whom Mark Brown, a co-author of the draft is affiliated) filed IETF IPR disclosure 767. The disclosure can be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/ipr_detail_show.cgi?&ipr_id=767 . The disclosure may cover technology in draft-housley-tls-authz-extns and other drafts. The claimed IPR relates to a US patent application filed September 23, 2005. The claims of this application are now public so IETF participants may examine the claims. Because of the timing of the IPR Disclosure, the IESG withdrew its approval of draft-housley-tls-authz-extns. A second IETF Last Call was initiated to determine whether the IETF community still had consensus to publish draft-housley-tls-authz-extns as a proposed standard given the IPR claimed. Consensus to publish as a standards track document was not demonstrated, and the document was withdrawn from IESG consideration. The IESG is considering approving this draft as an experimental track RFC with knowledge of the IPR disclosure from Redphone Security. The IESG solicits final comments on whether the IETF community has consensus to publish draft-housley-tls-authz-extns as an experimental standard given the IPR claimed. Comments can be sent to ietf@ietf.org or exceptionally to iesg@ietf.org. Comments should be sent by 2007-10-23.
