You presumably mean 2013 for the last 3.
Yes, that does seem like a more achievable target...
That said, I really hope the WG can get all of its documents to the
IESG by December. That gives the WG 7-8 months and 2 IETF
meetings. Not an easy task, but if it takes the WG a full year before
it gets to doing anything beyond requirements, etc., that does not
paint a very encouraging picture. I recall during the BOF someone
(Jon Hudson?) stating that industry is already well ahead of the IETF
in this space...
I agree, the NVO3 WG needs to move quickly. And aggressive milestone dates
might help motivate speed.
On the other hand, realistic dates might improve our credibility with outside
observers - it would be nice if we were on-time rather than "late" delivering
on our milestones. And of course we always have the option of doing things
faster than the milestones suggest. :)
