So if I follow the second input above, then independent submission cannot
be used to produce standard, then it should go through WG. The question was
if there was disagreement from WG to accept, is there a procedure for the
submitter to follow, or he must follow the WG and forget about his work
(many inventions in the world were not convined by groups/experts, but were
invented only when inventor didn't follow them but followed reasoning).
Sorry if not clear,

The last call that you refered to was a WG not independent.


There is no such thing as an Independent Stream submitting a Standards
Track document.  An author can submit an I-D through the IETF Stream if the
author would like the I-D to be published on the Standards Track.  A WG can
adopt such an I-D.

P.S. I read your message [1] again.  The first part seems to be about "the
reason why some individuals fail to convince an IETF WG".  The last part
seem to be about "a procedure to make participants follow to convince WG
and a procedure that WGs follow to accept with reason".  There was then an
"AB" and three hyphens on the next line.  It is followed by "but is this
Why not? I thought any I-D can be standard track,".  It was difficult for
me to understand [2] the message.
