That's unfortunate.  The word from one of the ADs is:

	Q: How serious is the IESG about Bob Braden's request at the
		SLC plenary to reduce author count?

	A: Serious enough - I (AD) doubt that a doc with 20 authors
	`	will go anywhere.

I suggest that the FCIP authors rethink this issue.

Thanks,
