This is an important point, and it's not unique to GSS-TLS.  All of the 
proposals that have been brought forward require real work.  It's not fair 
or realistic to expect that all of that work will be done by their 
respective authors.  Additionally, I will note that none of these proposals 
is so hand-wavy that its editorship cannot be taken up by someone other 
than its original author, provided there are people willing to do the work.

So, regardless of the direction we take, the chance of success will depend 
heavily on how many people are willing to participate actively in the work, 
not just reviewing documents and shouting down bad ideas, but actually 
contributing design ideas and text and maybe even serving as an editor.

I would like to see some indication of who might be willing to participate 
at that level, for each of these proposals.  There's no point in choosing 
an approach that no one is willing to work on, and IMHO any of the choices 
available to us would be better than nothing.
