WG chairs can appoint or change authors if needed under the process 
described in RFC7221 and its referenced documents. The individual draft 
has been accepted as a WG one a while ago with no changes in author 
list. If current document authors would like to make any changes to 
author/co-author/editor list WG chairs will certainly approve those 
changes. Otherwise unless there is clear evidence that current authors 
cannot make progress with the document, WG chairs do not have intentions 
of changing the author list. This decision may be revisited if evidence 
of author/co-author/editor duties not being performed to the expected 
level surfaces, but at this time there is no such evidence. The process 
of progressing the document is slow, slower than it could have been, but 
it is not stalled.

Thank you.
