I asked for feedback on the wgchairs list before posting here, and the  
discussion there also lead to some additional changes. John Klensin  
cautioned that more substantial changes are more difficult to fully vet.
I hence opted for changing the minimum number of words compared to the  
current boilerplate. The only reason I removed the "areas & working  
groups" bit was that I believe it's fully redundant and otherwise we'd  
need an extra line.

See my other email. I think http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/ 
current/ is best.
