Hi Jeffrey, thanks for the clarification. I understand you don't need a WG adoption for you to go to 3GPP. I agree with that.
When it comes to liaison with 3GPP, IMO the contents from IETF/DMM to other SDO(s) should be an actual work in DMM. So I'm not clear whether we can input 3GPP your draft as it is outside of IETF work. Of course we can input any drafts which DMM WG can work on.
