Re: [ftpext] FTP Host Draft

My 2c - after submitting what became RFC4217 as an independent submission 
(no FTP based WG existed at the time) - I'd wholly recommend doing it via 
a WG if at all possible - you get guaranteed time and focus in the process 
stages.

That was a few years ago, things may have changed.
