coex draft last call

Hi all,

Holidays are over. I hope they were good for everybody.
Now, back to business.

In my view as co-chair, the coex draft has not had enough thorough review for it to be submitted to the IESG. We need at least two more thorough reviews of the content. The Last Call ends next Friday, January 10.

During the last IETF meeting, the IETF membership and the IESG spoke out loud and clear. It takes too long to develop standards in the IETF. The IETF has problems with getting documents through the system quickly. One problem that is a major source of delay of the whole system is that WG chairs submit documents to the IESG and the RFC-editor that have not had adequate review. Since IESG and RFC-editor resources are very limited, that bogs down the whole system. Doing my share as an IETFer trying to improve the IETF, I do not want to be one of the chairs that submits documents without adequate review. We need more technical review of this document. If we do not get it, I will not submit the document to the IESG or the RFC-editor. We can just close the WG and let the I-D expire after six months. I feel fully empowered to make such a decision because it will be apparent that the consensus of the WG is "I don't care about this document". 

Thanks go out to those who have done reviews, but they have primarily been for grammar and smilint. We need more review, especially for the technical content. Please find the time to review the technical content of this document and send comments to the list.
