4.7) What is TLS? What happened at these meetings? Has anything come out of them yet?
TLS is the Transport Layer Security Working Group of the IETF
(Internet Engineering Task Force). It is the working group
responsible for moving transport layer protocols such as SSL
through the standards tracks.
IETF working groups do most of their activities through mailing
lists and thrice-annual IETF meetings. The first official IETF-TLS
Working Group meeting was June 1996 in Montreal. (Before then it was
an unofficial BOF "birds of a feather" group.)
The home page for the IETF-TLS Working Group is at
<http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/tls-charter.html>
The discussion list for IETF-TLS is at IETF-TLS@CONSENSUS.COM. You
subscribe and unsubscribe by sending to IETF-TLS@CONSENSUS.COM with
subscribe or unsubscribe in the SUBJECT of the message. Archives of
the list are at

Minutes are available for a number of past IETF-TLS meetings.
