Body: Dear Deirdre Connolly, Joseph A. Salowey, and Sean Turner,

The IEEE 802.11 working group and the IEEE 802 standards committee approved the 
attached liaison to the IETF TLS WG at our 2026 March 802 plenary session. 

The IEEE 802.11 working group has a project, P802.11bt, where the scope is to 
“extend IEEE 802.11 security to support algorithms for post-quantum 
cryptography (PQC).”

The IEEE 802.11 Working Group would like to express support for publication of 
draft-ietf-tls-mlkem as an RFC with its definition of key establishment options 
that use pure ML-KEM.

We would further request that the IETF look at updating EAP-TLS once 
draft-ietf-tls-mlkem is published as this is one of the mechanisms that IEEE 
P802.11bt will use.

Please contact me as chair of the IEEE 802.11 Working Group and Peter Yee as 
IEEE 802.11 IETF Liaison Officer for further information.

Sincerely,
Robert Stacey
Chair, IEEE 802.11 WLAN Working Group
