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. 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 Consensus to publish as a standards track document was not demonstrated, and the document was withdrawn from IESG consideration. A third IETF Last Call was initiated to determine whether the IETF community had consensus to publish draft-housley-tls-authz-extns as an experimental track RFC with knowledge of the IPR disclosure from Redphone Security. Consensus to publish as experimental was not demonstrated; a substantial segment of the community objected to publication on any track in light of the IPR terms. Since the third Last Call, RedPhone Security filed IETF IPR disclosure 1026. This disclosure statement asserts in part that "the techniques for sending and receiving authorizations defined in TLS Authorizations Extensions (version draft-housley-tls-authz-extns-07.txt) do not infringe upon RedPhone Security's intellectual property rights". The full text of IPR disclosure 1026 is available at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1026/ This Last Call is intended to determine whether the IETF community had consensus to publish draft-housley-tls-authz-extns as a proposed standard given IPR Disclosure 1026. The IESG is considering approving this draft as a standards track RFC. The IESG solicits final comments on whether the IETF community has consensus to publish draft-housley-tls-authz-extns as a proposed standard. Comments can be sent to ietf@ietf.org or exceptionally to iesg@ietf.org. Comments should be sent by 2009-02-11.
