Subject: Re: [AVTCORE] [Technical Errata Reported] RFC5764 (3971)

WG, EKR and David

Without having any deep knowledge of TLS, this errata appears to be
correct and minor potential source of confusion. Thus, I would propose
that we put this on into "Verified" status. I would appreciate if EKR
could confirm this as being valid.

WG, please provide feedback by the 12th of February.

Cheers
