Including Pending Proposals in External Commits in the Messaging Layer Security protocol

groupnone stateactive pages7 rev01 expires2026-09-03 canonicalhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mahy-mls-ext-commit-pp/
The Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol allows authorized non- members to join a group via external commits, however it disallows most pending proposals in those commits, which causes unfortunate side effects. This document describes an MLS extension to include pending proposal in external commits when the extension is present in a group.
