I didn't say that. Either this is an individual submission, in which case it has no formal standing and the only time the AD should be intervening is when pub is requested, or it's not an individual submission, in which case the correct process is for it to go through a WG. What I'm objecting to is what appears to be the AD-sponsored formation of some design team which has not gone through the BOF->WG process. -Ekr _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
