What did happen is that IETF Area Director "asked" individual
participants to submit their proposals to IETF for review by
yet to be
formed IETF directorate that will then decide if they are
worth moving
forward to become EXERIMENTAL RFC based on their value and
based on if
they are or not in conflict with existing IETF standards.
Speaking of incorrect statements... ;-)
IETF Directorates do not make decisions. I know that some people think they
do, but they have no decision making power. They exist to provide focused
review at the request of members of the IESG. The IESG ultimately decides
if a proposal will be published as an experimental RFC.
