Dear all,

I think we are seeing good progress with all chartered items, which is great, 
and I am convinced there is good energy in the WG to finish all the milestones.

What is sometimes missing---as I mentioned in the ALTO session this week here 
at IETF-93---is people (other than the authors) reading the drafts and 
providing feedback to the mailing list. E.g., in order to adopt a draft as WG 
item, I would like to see comments from other people on the mailing list saying 
they have read the draft and what they think of it. One good example is how 
Richard did it for multi-cost (see
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/alto/RUjTEP9-iIKd2txEANZCDDOMHkg) in 
order to move it forward towards WGLC.  Obviously, if you read a draft and 
think it is very good and you have fewer or nor comments that is also fine, but 
please say so on the mailing list. Also, if you have a draft of your own that 
you want to progress and receive feedback on, why not start by reading other 
people's drafts and help them make progress; I am sure people will then also 
return the favour and read your draft and improve it.

As chairs, our role is to make sure that drafts being adopted as WG item have 
the backing of the majority of the WG (rough consensus) and drafts entering 
WGLC are ready for publication, so that we do not embarrass ourselves in front 
of the IESG.
