John: If G.8113.1 never gets approved, then draft-betts- will sit in the RFC Editor queue until someone acknowledges this situation. I do not want anyone to use the IETF as a reason for or against achieving consensus in the ITU-T. Such consensus is left completely to ITU-T member states and sector members.
