The write-up mentions that:
"As a private protocol, no technical changes were performed on the
protocol itself, but the authors disclosed more details in
response to the WG discussions."
I don't see why this specification requires IETF consensus as it is not
possible to suggest any major changes. The explanation given for the
intended status is that the aspects of the protocol protected by IPR
were not reviewed externally.
The summary is that there is a memo which is not a WG memo, which is
supposed to have gained WG consensus, where some group is supposed to
consider the IPR disclosure, and which is being Last-Called as an
Individual Submission. I would like to be considered as not part of the
consensus.
The last call is not intended to gather IETF consensus about this draft
but give the community an opportunity to see the draft and comment on it
before it progress to the IESG. This draft is an AD sponsored draft.
As Michael also pointed out in his email: The draft has been brought to
the attention of parts of the Transport Area.
The intention is to document the RTMFP protocol for the general public.

"At the time of writing, the Adobe Flash Player runtime is
installed on more than one billion end-user desktop computers."
Shouldn't the memo be about the protocol?
The memo is about the protocol, but it is worth mentioning the
deployment base.
