To clarify, the email to which folks are responding is not an adoption 
poll from the chairs.  It is a solicitation of itnerest to the WG by the 
authors.  This is a step required before adoption.  The chairs will note 
that these replies are indications of interest.   For the chairs, the 
latter parts of the email below are significantly helpful.

Yours,

Joel
