Re: [Gendispatch] draft-kucherawy-bcp97bis

1) I believe this draft is useful work and should be progressed. I doubt that it's controversial, so AD-sponsored would be an adequate process.

2) Re "stable", I think it's a reasonable choice of word and it's used three times in RFC 2026 (without definition). It is a judgment that the IESG is already allowed to make by RFC 2026, so why not here too?
