Jefsey,

You seem to be misunderstanding the distinction between BCPs and standards
track documents.  There's nothing "closed" about BCPs.  They are subject to
the exact same community review, approval, and appeal processes that are
used for standards track documents.

If I've misunderstood what you mean by "closed", please feel free to clarify
so that I and others can better understand your comment.

-Scott-
