Perhaps that could work. I'm still not seeing why it's preferable to the arrangement I described: one dedicated TSV AD, who relies upon multiple ADs for backup when needed.

Since there is so much overlap in participants here, I think we could be well-served by two ADs who both work on both QUIC and HTTP/3 for example.
