As I said earlier, this falls into the other work and handling individual
drafts without a home.  It's a way of getting the review and consensus for
drafts that would otherwise be AD-sponsored.  I agree that this is a change
from how rtgwg has been used in the past.

Absolutely - this is a starting point that gives one idea.

Please - start the discussion here and now!  I was delighted to see how
many people were clearly familiar with the work and thought it was a good
idea to discuss.  Let's get some good reviews and suggestions so the draft
can be much better before the next IETF.
