I'm afraid there's some rather significant misunderstanding about that
remark - it was about the notion of 'freezing' the specs, especially
without a great deal of maturation. The W3C, for example, is similarly
recognizing this in terms of https://www.w3.org/wiki/Evergreen_Standards
and better captures the tradeoffs.

As far as list participation goes, communicating product plans and roadmaps
to the IETF is not generally a workmode that the Chrome team does. However,
as it matters to the understanding that we are committed to exploring
6962-bis, and believe it provides distinctive value over 6962, I'm more
than happy to share that we think this is a solid and welcome forward path,
and one that hopefully produces lower risk to the ecosystem than pursuing
it as Standards Track without any real world implementation experience or
running code.
