UTA met on Monday. The WG focus shifted to e-mail protocols using TLS.
- A new draft-margolis-smtp-sts covering the MTA-MTA interface has been introduced and discussed in detail. An updated version incorporating the received comments will be submitted for acceptance as a new WG ID. 
- For the existing draft-ietf-uta-email-deep (MUA-MTA and MTA-MUA interfaces) the only remaining open question is the level of its harmonization with the MTA-MTA draft.
- An additional draft-fenton-smtp-require-tls, defining a method for delivering an email asking to prioritize security over delivery (i.e., deliver only if all hops are TLS-protected), has been introduced and discussed. The author was encouraged to submit a revised version based on the received feedback.

An additional draft-zhang-tls-service-indication-extension has been presented and received negative feedback mainly due to its protocols stack violation.

Orit.
