Attachments (None)
Liaisons referred by this one OWE (RFC8110) now in 802.11
Body
For information: the IETF is pleased to announce that
draft-wkumari-rfc8110-to-ieee has been approved[1] and will be published as an
RFC within 2-4 months, i.e., the maintenance of the protocol described in RFC
8110 is now officially transferred to the IEEE 802.11 WG.

The IETF would like to receive answers to the two following questions/proposals:

Q1: Does the IEEE want an expedite processing, i.e., getting the RFC number in
1 month or even sooner? This means that the RFC won’t have a forward pointer to
the IEEE Std

Q2: Would IEEE agree that the RFC publication is postponed until the IEEE Std
is published to allow the RFC to contain a reference to the IEEE Std ?

The IETF prefers the latter to keep a chain of specifications. Without answer,
draft-wkumari-rfc8110-to-ieee will be published as an RFC within 2-4 months
probably without a forward reference to Std IEEE 802.11-2024.
