It's now eight weeks since the telechat, and there has been no
response of any kind to the comments from the ADs.  The comments, and
especially the DISCUSS positions, should have been discussed with the
relevant ADs.  Discussion and/or resolution has to happen in the next
two weeks -- so, by 17 Oct.  If it doesn't, I'm going to set the
status of the document to "Dead", and close the working group without
it.

That would really be a shame, as it's almost done -- there's a few
days' worth of work left and then it goes to the RFC Editor as a
Proposed Standard.  This seems sort of like running a marathon and
being 200 metres short of the finish line... and then saying, well, 42
km is enough, let's just go to the pub now and leave it unfinished, no
need to do the last .2.

Please, let's not let this die.  Authors, you're almost there.  Eat
some spinach, make like Popeye, and finish it.  You have a deadline;
please meet it.
