Good to know.  Thank you for volunteering.  At this time Mike Thomas
has agreed to continue to edit the draft, so unless he becomes
unresponsive I see no reason immediately to appoint a new draft
editor.

The dates are Month / Year, not Month / Day.  So I think you
probably mean Feb 05, Mar 05, ...

Based on the existing set of issues I do not believe that your
suggestions are reasonable -- they are way too aggresive.  I really do
not believe that we'll reach consensus by April.  I think we have way
too many issues.  Perhaps a better proposal for milestones are:

Mar 05	Review issues with kink-06
Mar 05	Submit kink-07
Jun 05	Reach consensus on necessary changes
Jul 05	Submit kink-08
Aug 05	WGLC
Sep 05	Submit draft to IESG
Jan 06	Begin Interop bakeoffs
Feb 06	Document interop results.

Even this schedule is extremely agrressive, but IMHO actually
achievable.  I don't think we can get concensus on all the open issues
and make it past the IESG before Paris.
