I’d like to point out that a draft that gets adopted does not need to be ready 
for publication. It only needs to be good enough to be a starting point for 
work by the working group.

At present, draft-kumar is the product of its seven authors. They can put 
whatever they want in this document and they don’t need anyone to agree to any 
changes.

What adoption changes is that the group gets change control, so if the group 
decides that the IM should be added in this draft, that is what happens; and if 
the group decides that it should be merged with the capabilities draft, that is 
fine as well.  It is not the usual way to have a working group work on an 
individual draft. If we want to work on this, we adopt it and make it ready. We 
don’t wait for individual authors to make their draft ready for publications 
and then adopt it followed immediately by working group last call.

I agree that we may want to spend some time on the list of documents before 
adopting them, but getting to start work on the content of these documents is 
what this group is chartered to do.
