The IETF has a simple process for all of this: write a draft.
Not true.
The IETF also runs a large number of mailing lists for discussion of
things both general and specific. It is not necessary to start work by
writing a draft. One can also start work by discussing the problem area
on one or more of the mailing lists, especially when one believes that
the work can best be done by a team, not by one lone author of an ID.
And that is what Keith has done, stated the outlines of the problem
area, a way forward, and asked if anyone wants to help him work on the
problem.
No reason to attack him like you did and I specifically want to address
this because mailing lists have a much larger audience than their
participants. If such attacks are not answered it creates barriers for
new blood to enter into the IETF process. Please don't do this.
