Thank you for the hallway conversation on this.

When I counted last week, only 80 implementation reports have been filed 
with the IESG in the history of "ever", so this doesn't seem like the right 
hurdle for advancement.

I think your suggestion to make assertions at Last Call time and asking for 
supporting/challenging statements sounds very reasonable. The IESG can do 
the right thing based on Last Call comments.

Thanks,

Spencer
