Ryuji, I have no intention to disturb any personal feelings, and this is 
not offence to any one's name, excuses in advance.

This doesn't match the initial announcement on this mailing list:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/autoconf/current/msg01557.html
which basically had 5 members.

A couple of aspects of this change:

-it's impractical to have more than 5 co-authors on an I-D authorship,
  xml format makes it for max 5.  Of course, a contributors section could
  be used, and designate a couple of editors.
-some drafts circulated on the DT archives have 3 co-authors - why not
  all 5, or 6?  Are some members more important than others?

About the document title: is it 'strawman' (announced by the DT 
forming)?  'framework'  circulated in the DT archives)?  'practical 
model'?  (Charter says).  They don't seem to appear all at the same place.

I don't want to sound alarmist, but I'm wondering whether the DT is not 
risking spending its time with work for which it is not Chartered to do? 
  Just noting.
