Sure. This is applicable to all wg docs. I indicated that the
fact the draft has now a wg doc status I concluded that the chairs 
and ADs do not see *serious* issues *stopping* the wg to work on the
proposal (otherwise they would have requested
more debate before making the draft wg doc as was the case
for radius proposal)....Am I missing something here?

I am not sure what is really expected from this debate. 

Are you (chairs and/or ADs) concerned that because we are 
dealing with multiple approaches therefore we should address
*now* the final status for the drafts, and to do that we need
to either:

a) Highlight that these are in fact distinct approaches for distinct
   problems? or

b) These approaches are solving the same problem (aka service)
   then there are no convincing arguments to send them all to
   PS?

Assume the situation is b). What do you suggest the wg to do?
(drop one of the proposal now, etc).

Honestly, it will be good to articulate what is the objective
of this debate...(given all the arguments presented).

Hamid.
