As an author, I naturally support WGLC. I have addressed comments in the list so far and added a couple of paragraphs about downgrades. It is a straightforward draft that does not introduce any changes other than getting IANA identifiers and summarizing how ML-KEM can be used with rfc9370. Thx

Subject: WG Last Call: draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem-02 (Ends 2025-09-05) This message starts a 2-week WG Last Call for this document. Abstract: NIST recently standardized ML-KEM, a new key encapsulation mechanism, which can be used for quantum-resistant key establishment. This draft specifies how to use ML-KEM as an additional key exchange in IKEv2 along with traditional key exchanges. This Post-Quantum Traditional Hybrid Key Encapsulation Mechanism approach allows for negotiating IKE and Child SA keys which are safe against cryptanalytically-relevant quantum computers and theoretical weaknesses in ML-KEM.
