Sorry, I forgot Bob Bradley is with Apple.
I will ask him and Christian Christian Huitema for a phone conference.
Imho, orally discussing our various approaches while taking Apple's use
cases into consideration
might help progressing and unifying the drafts.
(Most likely, I will not be able to attend the next IETF meeting.)

All of the major O.S. vendors support it.   One option would be to go forward with the remaining work as ISE documents, with the potential that the IETF might want to update them later.
