I'll try to respond to this on behalf of the authors, here is what I think:
* This seems a straight-forward piece of work that could be implemented
quickly too. It has been raised before, but I think now would be an
excellent time to progress this. It needs to be PS and should take one
IETF-cycle.
* I believe the editors do have cycles to conclude this quickly over the
next few months.
* I think this does still need some review from others - e.g. from the
DCCP community; or/and RTP-based TFRC people to check the method seems
correct, and to confirm people understand the "problem" cases that
motivate the change. Comments are really welcome.

Gerrit, Gorry: if there is support to take this forward, how close to
ready would you think we are -- are there open issues? Would it be
realistic to think about WGLC in about few months of time? With quick
reading I couldn't identify any contentious issues in the draft, and I
think it points out a relevant problem in TFRC that needs to be addressed.
Group: would you support this to become a DCCP working group item for a
proposed standard RFC? I will assume that people who respond "Yes" are
committing to participate in reviewing this and the subsequent versions
of the draft.
