  I made no statements about my comments and their inclusion in the draft.

  But since you brought it up, I think the document is still nowhere near ready 
for publication.  Many comments have been addressed, but many have not been 
addressed.

  I question the utility of having a WGLC when the draft *still* doesn't 
adequately describe the protocol.

  The draft must document the protocol.

  I find it surprising that text was copied without attribution.  This just 
shouldn't happen.

  As the list archive shows, I've done that.  It also shows little in the way 
of responses.

  The last response to my review was "Many thanks Alan for the thorough review. 
 We¹ll collate all your comments and respond shortly."

  That was six months ago, and there has been no further response.

  Given the extensive nature of my reviews, I would suggest it's not *my* 
responsibility to double-check each rev of the document to see if my comments 
are addressed.

  What I've seen in other WGs is that the authors respond to comments with 
clarifications, suggested replacement text, etc.  That pretty much hasn't 
happened here.

  That's what I'm asking for.  That's not what's happening.

  Instead, new revs of the draft come out, with minimal interaction with the WG.

  I would suggest that it's too early to have a WGLC, as the authors simply 
haven't responded to reviews of the draft.

  i.e. I have no idea what state the draft is in.  After doing multiple 
detailed reviews that largely get ignored, I'm not inclined to do more.  It's 
up to the authors to demonstrate that the comments have been addressed.
