This document has already had an IETF Last Call, where it failed to achieve consensus. At this point, it doesn't need additional last calls to "make sure that people agree with Sam", but rather to go back to the authors to try to build support in the community. Not liking the result of the previous Last Call is not a sufficient basis for issuing another one. At some point in the future, it may be appropriate to issue another consensus call, but since this is not a WG mailing list--indeed, the IESG has twice declined to charter a WG in this area--nor are you the chair, it doesn't seem to me that you have standing to do that. When that time comes, I would expect the IESG to designate an appropriate time and place. -Ekr _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
