And that brings us back to the procedural question that remains unanswered:

- Is the final IETF proposal, to the ICG, going to be the document 
generated by this WG, or,
- Is the WG draft going to be massaged by others (including the IAOC) 
before delivery to the ICG?

I may have missed it, in which case I apologize to all, but I still 
can't recall seeing a clear, definitive, statement of how we get from a 
WG final document to an "official" response delivered to the ICG.

Either way, it's not an open process for the IAOC to "take it from there."

Personally, I'd be a lot more comfortable to have the IAOC input 
reflected in this WG, either through direct discussion, or through 
review and comment on the various drafts.

Looking forward to it!
