Any plans on how to proceed? So far we have version -00 of the
individual submission, but it's not clear to me how to proceed....

Both UK CPNI and me are OK with the document being modified to reflect
IETF consensus. However, we do expect me to continue as the document
author, and UK CPNI to continue as the author's affiliation (there's
nothing unusual with this... but considering that strictly speaking once
a document is accepted by a WG the author may be changed, I'm just
clarifying that while neither UK CPNI nor me have problems with the
document reflecting WG consensus, we do expect the author (Fernando
Gont) and the author's affiliation (UK CPNI) to remain "as is").

Thanks!
