Sounds like a good plan. I fully support the idea of closing the WG :-). 
One thing I would like to be different is to progress the WG items 
(tentative and informational protocol) as WG documents to the IESG 
(as-is) immediately and then close the WG down. I feel that these 
documents have gone through a lot of working group review in their 
lifetime and by treating them as individual submissions they would 
appear to be immature and not adequately reviewed. Any followup can be 
done on the mailing list. What do you think?

Thanks
