I've got good comments from some participants regarding the 1st ID IPv10 and most of the other comments were to change the draft name, I read so many RFCs suggested by some few people, and they were related to the IETF sequence of work, and I was waiting for actions to be taken to make a WG or to discuss it within a WG but nothing happened.

Even for the 2nd and 3rd drafts, no reviews happened.

I'm waiting for an action from the people who are responsible for certain areas to make a decision or assign a reviewer or even delete the drafts :-)

Hi Keith,

As another perspective from a lurker trying to help, there is also the
daunting task of having to come up to speed on certain things that are
collective knowledge of decades.  I've got one idea I've been honing
that was actually mentioned obliquely literally 20+ years ago.

I appreciated the guidance I was given of "have you seen this RFC"
rather than something more harsh.  It helped me find a direction where
my idea might be added and a working group where it can be best debated.

Regards,
KAM
