All,

I would like to make the WG aware of a potential IPR issues with draft-ietf-tls-applayerprotoneg, which is in the RFC editor’s queue. On May 12th and 13th, INEOVATION filed IPR disclosures:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2357/
http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2359/
The IPR concerns are that the "document defines an extension to negotiate the application layer type in a similar way as described draft-ietf-tls-applayerprotoneg."

Given that this IPR was submitted/disclosed late in the process, I would like to get a sense of the WG as to whether it is OK to continue with the publication of the draft as-is.  Please respond by May 30th if you think the WG should not proceed.
