Hi Weiming,

The SCTP TML became a WG document  before any changes to WG chairs.
i.e. There were no shortcuts taken.
Request for it to become a WG document go as far as 2006 - so the standard
process was followed: An individual document was released. The WG was polled
to make it a WG item. Patrick made it a WG item.

On the issue of TML choices:
We can have more than one TML.  For the default TML we need a basic TML
that meets at minimal the basic requirements stated in the protocol draft.
Over the years, this has been an issue of contention with the ADs because they
have been very serious about meeting some of those requirements.
[Example both TIPC and UDP were not accepted in any form or shape for use as
TMLs because they do not pass the congestion control requirement.]

SCTP is already accepted as a WG item and is actively maintained by the authors
hence is a natural choice for the default TML.

cheers,
jamal
