tn3270 is a widely used protocol but also a venerable one, so it is a little surprising that the IETF is to register a provisional URI for it at this stage. I have always seen it as an IBM protocol, and while that is no bar to being an RFC - there are plenty of Cisco or Microsoft parallels - I am somewhat surprised that the I-D contains no hint thereof; it does seem discourteous for IBM not to appear in some guise, or perhaps I am missing something. The provenance of the editor is unknown to me - and of course, once an RFC has been through the IETF processes, then the editorship is an irrelevance - but I am concerned that I have no awareness of the contact provided as the scheme 'Author/Change controller', no track record, no affiliation, a gmail address. This seems more than discourtesy, this seems wrong. As such, I believe that this I-D should not progress to an RFC.
