Nothing has ever stopped them. Never. Participation is as simple as joining a mailing list. The IETF has been doing SSL and TLS for nearly 20 years. It is not a secret. It was incumbent on them to reach out and get involved. > Why don't we listen to each other? I know at IETF, I often hear that we > don't get enough operators to comment and give feedback.

Don't try to equate "listen to each other" with "meet my requirement." The message has been stated, very clearly, from individuals, WG members, through document editors and WG chairs and up to Security Directors: static RSA is not coming back to TLS 1.3 . Since before the last IETF this was the message, consistently. So perhaps you should answer the question first -- why aren't *you* listening? :) PFS is also possible in TLS 1.1 and later. What does, say USBank, do to prevent PFS in their existing deployment? Why won't additional controls to prevent TLS 1.3 and its mandatory PFS be expected to work here as well? So far all I've seen is "maybe there's bugs in TLS 1.2 and we'll be forced to move to TLS 1.3" Shrug. There are bugs everywhere. Maybe there's bugs in TLS 1.3 too. Look, pretty much the entire world is being spied on by national-scale adversaries who are recording all traffic for eventual decryption and correlation. *Almost everyone* is having their traffic surveilled. The problems of debugging a set of enterprise apps doesn’t amount to a hill of beans in that world. It just doesn't. Same for a particular industry's regulatory requirements. > Isn't our goal to have the best standards possible? Any organism (including > the IETF), needs feedback to thrive.
