Re: Fourth Last Call: draft-housley-tls-authz-extns

I'm writing to ask you not to approve the proposed patent-encumbered standard for TLS authorization.

We've achieved a massive technological progress, thanks to IETF and other bodies which strive for standardization of OPEN specifications.

Allowing a patent-encumbered (without a non-revokable royalty-free license) standard to be approved, will weaken not only the IETF, but the open standards community as a whole.

I urge the IETF to send a strong signal in support of TRUE OPEN STANDARDS by rejecting this proposed standard until RedPhone provide a non-revokable, royalty-free license for all users.

Thanks,

Pablo Kohan
