I support making the experimental code points Recommended=D. I'm a bit less enthusiastic about switching this document to standards-track after WGLC to effectuate the change, but it seems like the least bad option at the moment, so I guess we should go ahead with doing it that way. If we were at IETF LC it would be a harder decision.

The document has a section obsoleting the following experimental code points assigned to pre-standard versions of ML-KEM (Kyber): X25519Kyber768Draft00 (25497) and SecP256r1Kyber768Draft00 ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerStart This Message Is From an External Sender This message came from outside your organization. ZjQcmQRYFpfptBannerEnd Chair review of ECDHE-ML-KEM uncovered the following issue. The document has a section obsoleting the following experimental code points assigned to pre-standard versions of ML-KEM (Kyber): X25519Kyber768Draft00 (25497) and SecP256r1Kyber768Draft00 (25498). This requires assigning a 'D' to the recommended column which requires standards or IESG action. At the Monday afternoon TLS meeting there was strong consensus that the best and quickest way forward to change the document to standards track and make the following change to section 6.4 (Obsoleted Supported Groups): Experimental code points for previous versions of this specification were added to the TLS registry as X25519Kyber768Draft00 (25497) and SecP256r1Kyber768Draft00 (25498). This document obsoletes these entries. IANA is instructed to modify the recommended field to 'D' and update the reference to this [ this RFC ]. The comment fields for 25497 and 25498 are updated to "obsoleted by [ this RFC ]" No other registrations are to be modified by this change. This is a consensus call for this change only as the last call has completed for the rest of the document.. Please respond to this thread indicating if you support this action by November 14 2025. Thanks, Joe, Sean, and Deirdre
