What was incomplete? The agreement was to make a poll on the list and in
case there is no objection the document is a WG document. This what
happened some time back.

You seem to be the only one feeling like this. I go no other objections
so far.

I do not get this. In case you mean my company than I have to say my
company has zero interest in the output of the ForCES anymore we moved
out of that space several years ago!

Your own situation is not determining how the WG is making progress. I
have not attended the last couple of meetings either and I am mainly
doing the ForCES stuff in my spare time as it is not supported by my
company anymore. And please don't blame me or the WG for you own situation.

Our ADs are making sure that we stick to our agenda. We were several
times already challenged because of slow progress. I rather see
contributions to the WG. For me the discussion about SCTP TML be a WG
document is closed.
