+1.

To obtain "IETF approval", there needs to be a sponsoring AD.  Sam explained 
why he feels he cannot fill that role any longer.  Whether some other AD feels 
can can serve in his stead is their individual decision.  We do not have any 
rules that compel an AD to sponsor a submission.  Indeed, being able to obtain 
a willing sponsor is considered part of the IETF vetting process.

Nothing prevents the document from being submitted directly to the RFC Editor, 
for publication as a non-IETF document.
