I should probably get out more, but I wasn't familiar with this draft.
I see that version 00 was announced. It looks to have been discussed
in a couple of posts on ccamp (and mpls? but I didn't look), and
revectored onto the main IETF discussion list, where it was the
subject of two posts. The draft says "The initial version of this
document was put together by the IESG", suggesting that they were
asking for input or other forms of help, but that didn't happen.

(In your opinion:) Was this a case of insufficient agreement, or a
case of insufficient cycles? Or something else?
