It does not propose to stop there, but recognizes that there is a possibility that we may not always get access to the document in question, and the WG should carefully consider sending such documents over.

In my note to Toerless (https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/wgchairs/zqBaS8FUeVVRr28fucvoBOIOb-I <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/wgchairs/zqBaS8FUeVVRr28fucvoBOIOb-I>) I mentioned that I did make this information available in the IETF Last Call text

"If you would like to review this document and
would like a copy of the [IEEE1588] reference specification, please send a
note to the Responsible AD <[e-mail]> and the tictoc working
group chairs <[e-mail]>and we will provide you a copy of 
the document.”

If you would like some additional clarifying text in the statement, please make a proposal and I will gladly incorporate it.

Thanks
Suresh
