So how about emphasising more that this section is a guideline
that's expected to evolve, that what's listed here is the
current practice (assuming it is) and that the IAOC may change
this but must publish their changes and follow community
consensus on such changes (as evaluated by the IESG)? To be
clear, I mean adding such text to the start of section 5,
before 5.1.

So I still get a 401 when I click those links - has the material
been published somewhere else that the WG could see? If not, I
think that has to happen before one could think about WGLC.

Cheer,
