Hi Ted,

The point I am trying to get across is that the DHC WG, ADs, IESG, etc. 
approve the technical content/semantics of the sub-option, then Cablelabs 
would assign the sub-option code.  I'm trying to balance CableLab's need 
for speed with IETF's review of the content of the sub-option.  The expert 
review would be only for the choice of sub-option code assignment(?), not 
the actual technical content of the draft.

So the order of events would be:

1. CCC sub-option draft submitted to DHC WG.
2. DHC WG, AD, IESG review/approve sub-option format and content.
3. Cablelabs assigns sub-option code.
4. IETF expert reviewer approves code assignment.
5a. Cablelabs compliant vendors start implementing sub-option for testing 
and shipment to customer.
5b. Draft is simultaneously submitted to RFC editor Q.

If all goes well, field shipments can commence just about the time the RFC 
exits the editor Q.

I'm grasping for a compromise here.  Any suggestions?

Cheers,
