Hi Enke,

I hope this is and was the case here.

But my point goes a bit further ... what if they do not want to reply to
all of the administrative emails IETF process requires to push any doc
further ?

And what if they moved to a different universe ? Should they be forgotten
just because we are doing a few sentences -bis on their work ?

Thx,
R.
