To add to the ballot text: this draft is short but unusual as it transfers maintenance of an IETF protocol from IETF to IEEE. There are liaison statements in all directions and all parties (authors, IEEE 802.11, IETF trust, and probably the IETF community after the IETF Last Call) agree with the move.

This is somehow urgent as the IEEE is waiting for the IETF, hence the ballot on the day after the IETF Last Call. If there are critical Last Call comments, I am postponing the ballot.

Special note from the IETF Trust: "The authors of RFC8110 are Dan Harkins and Warren Kumari and are also involved in moving the maintenance of this protocol to the IEEE. As authors they hold a shared copyright with the IETF Trust and they both have the ability to give the IEEE the needed rights to use the RFC8110 material in future IEEE works without any approval from the IETF Trust." and later "The IETF Trust will continue in perpetuity to hold its currently held shared rights with the authors on RFC8110 which means that RFC8110 will remain available to the IETF to use and to create derivative works from along with everything else permitted by the TLP licensing terms."

I am always happy when opportunistic encryption is used instead of plaintext. I am glad the IEEE was convinced eventually to do this as well.

I assume the question of moving RFC 8110 to some appropriate “don’t use this, use that” status (Obsolete I guess) upon publication of the relevant IEEE spec has been considered by some combination of the authors, sponsoring AD, and extensive Last Call email discussion. In any case I don’t see why it would need to hold up publication of this document.
