I know we said "before SLC" in that mail, but 48 hours 
later and no reaction at all tells me something:-)

Assuming no change from this, we'll be working to the 
following schedule:

- Discuss current drafts in SLC
- Re-issue in early/mid Jan (basically asap given the
  holidays)
- Issue 2 week WG last call
- Send to IESG after resolution of the (likely few:-)
  last call comments (possibly early Feb)
- WG goes dormant, then shuts-down when RFC(s)
  issue(s)

I'm ok with that schedule for the protocol draft. 
Any problems for the framework authors?

Stephen.
