people have wrongly believed this on previous occasions, e.g. RFC 6598.

This may or may not be a tempest in a teapot, but i believe ISOC's role
as a translator between the technical and political spheres (or Universes,
if you wish - noting that the plural is as challenging here as in the
draft under discussion) would suggest we come up with a list of technical
and operational challenges (such as uniqueness of identifiers, operation
of the gateway infrastructure, ...).  The chapter delegates list might
not be the right place for this, but I figure we got at least two distinct
mailing lists for the pre-WCIT discussions - as well as the lists in the
appropriate technical fora.

Finally, for those less exposed to the IETF, the fact that someone publishes
an Internet-Draft does not mean the document is "under consideration" by
the IETF or one of its working groups, at all.
