I don't recall talking about an IESG note on the mailing list!  Anyhow,
as to your strawman IESG note, it should be noted that the draft was
reviewed and accepted by IEEE 802.11 (WIEN? - the WG has sent an
official review report to IETF.  And also, I would remove the last part
of the note: "and it is not recommended for implementation outside of
3GPP."  I think we should state the facts about the solution and let the
implementer decided whether or not the solution is suitable for their
deployments outside 3GPP.
BR,
Farid
