Hiya, In case it's useful, I think this transfer makes sense technically, as well as (presumably) organisationally. Opportunistic security is a worthwhile thing, but it's even better when we can do better - that ought be more likely to happen in IEEE. Cheers, S. On 07/08/2024 19:02, The IESG wrote:

Working Group'
<draft-wkumari-rfc8110-to-ieee-02.txt> as Informational RFC
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
last-call@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2024-09-04. Exceptionally, comments may

Abstract
RFC8110 describes Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE), a mode
that allows unauthenticated clients to connect to a network using
encrypted traffic. This document transfers the ongoing maintenance
and further development of the protocol to the IEEE 802.11 Working
Group.
This document updates RFC8110 by noting that future work on the
protocol described in RFC8110 will occur in the IEEE 802.11 Working
Group.

No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
