JD:  That is completely incorrect.  From the charter:

"The NVO3 WG will write the following informational RFCs, which must have 
completed Working Group Last Call before rechartering can be considered: 

Problem Statement 
Framework document 
Control plane requirements document 
Data plane requirements document 
Operational Requirements 
Gap Analysis"

JD:  Process.  Draft-narten was written by a group of people with a particular 
perspective.  In particular, they are blissfully unaware of most of the 
technologies developed by the IETF over the past fifteen years.  (Also 
technologies developed by the IEEE, but I digress.)

Other drafts will be written by groups with other perspectives, and the 
expectation is that by considering all of these drafts on an *equal* basis, we 
will have a more complete understanding of the problem space.
