The reason there has been no activity is that the cahirs have declined
to poll the members on the main outstanding issue, to see whether or not
there is a consensus one way or the other. There is just the one important
outstanding technical issue AFAIAA.

OTOH, the actual text, and some non-technical issues such as Security
Considerations still require review.

I remains, as always, willing to participate.
