However the reason
why many things come in as individual submissions is that the community
doesn't care much.
I sure hope you are very, very wrong.
If the community does not care much, then I do not see the purpose in making it
an IETF standard.
A standards process is primarily about gaining community support for a common
way of doing something.
So if the IESG is satisfied enough to put out a last
call, and nobody responds -- it doesn't have community support -- the
default community position shouldn't be "no" but "no objection".
That's a default 'yes'.
We already have a problem with producing specifications that no one uses. A
default 'yes' on outside submissions makes it likely we will get lots more.
