Sounds right to me, tho I didn't go through the nitty gritty details. Going to proposed standard without an IETF WG is a VERY unlikely path to success. While it is possible, it would have to be something that is so uniquely controversial and necessary that an AD would be willing to put their reputation on the line. Regardless, the sensible approaches here are: a) go the IRTF route, b) go the individual submission route and then if standardization seems warranted, go down the IETF WG path.
