The shepherd writeup for this document (current version at <http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-applayerprotoneg/shepherdwriteup/>) is not accurate, and that has a major effect on the IETF Last call. For question 9, it says: ========== (9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it? the document represents strong consensus ========== A hum was taken at IETF 87 for the WG to pick between this proposal and another; there were many hums in the room for each, with more for this proposal. That hum was not taken to the WG mailing list. Since then, many people have given strong reasons to prefer the other proposal for technical reasons. --Paul Hoffman
