Since there appears to be some disagreement about whether comments received were adequately addressed by the draft now under last call, and whether the manner in which they were addressed represents a consensus view, perhaps we should consider the possibility that the question of whether and how to conduct this experiment could be given to a WG (IRTF, rather than IETF, I'd think), in order to ensure that the experiment's general parameters meet with community approval.
