Am I confused? The allocation required an IETF Consensus. A consensus was determined and the code point allocated. How can it make any difference if the consensus determination is later reversed? Why should it make a difference to that allocation if the reversal occurred before or after the RFC was

Bernard, I think your proposal is worth thinking about. The current BOF process is very on/off in its nature. One of the problems that it is causing is that when work is not far enough, a BOF or WG cannot be established. This in turns leave the perception that the IETF is completely ignoring the t
