How can we start a Last Call on this when we still have no idea within dnsop or
even within the IETF in general whether we are going to continue issuing
Special Use domains?

And aren't we still in the process of getting a problem statement
completed as RFC?

I also thought we were currently not letting anyone use the Special-Use
domains RFC 6761 for any new requests? If we are allowing this, should
we also not do additional calls for the other requests that have been
pending?

It seems the chairs are making a decision in this problem space by
starting a Last Call now, which I think is not the right continuation
of the process we started on.
