I'm fairly sure there are some real issues; I don't expect it to be
horribly complicated to fix them and I don't know of any issues that I
expect to require difficult consensus calls.  


I definitely do know that I want more review of the document before I
take it back to the IESG.

I said I would provide detailed comments to the WG by January 20.  I
know Ken Raeburn has done a review of the document himself and found
issues similar to those I found; I don't know if he plans to send that
review to the working group.  I'm hoping that others who have tried to
implement the protocol will bring forward at least general information
about their concerns while we're trying to set milestones so that we
can take them into account.

If the chairs believe that my timeline for a decision is too
aggressive I expect them to object.

Keep in mind that setting milestones does not preclude us moving
faster than those milestones.
