Unfortunately that is the normal IETF process, but I was able to get around it 
by verifying that a couple of the authors of the RFC 5340 had truly 
discontinued IETF participation. 

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5340/

So, it is possible to retain authors and contributors without IPR poll and 
AUTH48 participation.

Thanks,
