TLS had an interim meeting on Sunday an working group meetings on Monday and Thursday.  At the interim we refined the 1RTT flows. In addition we worked towards removing renegotiation and encrypting the content type header.  The discussion has been moved to the list for confirmation.  On Monday we discussed moving ECC to standards track, named groups for Diffie-Hellman over a finite field and incorporating ChaCha20 with Poly1305 as a TLS cipher. We have asked the CFRG for help in selecting alternate curves for ECC and to validate the construction of the ChaCha20 Poly1305 cipher.  We will also be discussing making TLS more amenable to hardware implementations.
