Hi, I am baffled why this announcement, of fundamental importance, was not sent to the correct list for IETF announcements. The same applies to the original announcement, sent as I understand it on 23 June, at a time when I wasn't reading the discussion list for personal reasons. I will comment substantively when I've had a chance to read through the proposal and John's appeal. However, I would suggest that the announcement should be sent to the IETF announcement list, and that the one month comment period should start again at that point.
