I am sure that you have more of an insider view than I do,
but I hadn't heard of this... Could you give some examples?
I know that there have been some documents that have been
published without WG participation -- some MIBs & TCs from
the OPS area and some updates from the APPS area come to mind,
are those the types of things that you are talking about?
