The IESG has received a request from the Transport Layer Security WG (tls) to consider the following document: - 'TLS Fallback Signaling Cipher Suite Value (SCSV) for Preventing Protocol Downgrade Attacks' <draft-ietf-tls-downgrade-scsv-03.txt> as Proposed Standard 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@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-01-23. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead.
