Ignore the dates for now; are the milestones reasonable, and is the sequence reasonable? The IESG would probably expect these milestones to have more reasonable dates on them before chairs are assigned and the WG is formally launched. > I guess the reason I ask is whether there is actually some immediacy to > this.

There's a trail from STD 76 littered with abandoned drafts attempting to address one issue or another, but none of them have achieved enough critical mass to reach publication or broad implementation. I would agree though that there hasn't been any urgency in all that time. One way to look at this effort is that it's a collection of those abandoned concerns all being addressed, finally, in one shot, with the momentum of a handful of large operators. -MSK
