Apropos of my previous message:

"Efforts of IETF Working Groups are focused around Internet-Drafts 
(I-Ds). For a Working Group to formally work on an I-D, it first needs 
to officially adopt it."

Please change to:

"Efforts of IETF Working Groups are focused around Internet-Drafts 
(I-Ds). If a WG wants to take on an individual's I-D as a WG work item, 
it often issues a 'call for adoption'."

Then strike, "For example, I-Ds authored by individuals are often 
initially considered as starting points from which the Working Groups 
can proceed."

You can then explained in the numbered list that the datatracker does 
the automated message (that soon will be customizable; yay!) and strike 
the "Start an adoption call on the mailing list" section.
