Re: [Ianaplan] Process concern regarding the IETF proposal development process

[BA] A summary of process from authoritative parties might be useful.  But
it would also be useful to point out that we are talking about process
concerns relating to requirements for legal work that hasn't yet been
completed by an organization (the IAOC) distinct from the IANAPLAN WG.
Until the legal work has been done and there are proposed contractual
arrangements to analyze, we are talking about process objections to
requirements for arrangements that do not yet exist, within a WG that was
not chartered to handle the legal work.
