Re: [ieee-ietf-coord] requesting an EtherType

Can we maybe try to cut a little bit from the clerical process and make the
earlier review of such requests part of our coordination, at least in what
concerns the technical aspects? The Internet-Drafts were written with the
purpose of providing the required technical documentation. They went
through the IETF consensus process, with its principal milestones (LCs)
also announced on this (ieee-ietf) list. I would suspect that if any
important information was missing or the request was not targeting the
right level, this would have been already flagged up. If something was
somehow missed, we  should know earlier than the three month typical
response time.

Thanks and Regards,

Dan
