Something (either document production or a working group action) should happen within the next few months.I should clarify a few points: 1. sorry for the typo in the original "set" should be "yet" 2. the intent was not to cast aspersions on the cognizant ADs (past or present) or WG Chairs (past or present), or to discuss possible causes for the situation -- indeed, obviously I didn't even name the WG until asked -- but merely to observe that the history of at least one WG seemed to be out of whack with what was asserted was shown by some statistics.
I'd like statistics too. To be slightly provocative, if the average
times are forced upwards by a long tail of WGs/drafts/RFCs that
take extremely long times to get done due to one-of-a-kind reasons,
it would seem fair to remove thoses cases from consideration. We should
probably concentrate on causes of delay that affect the mode of the
distribution, not the tail.
