With what consequences if the deadline is not met?

I don't intend to discuss participate in discussions any longer than  
necessary.  While I hope consensus can be reached quickly and am  
encouraged by the list discussions, I'm not holding my breath.

My current goal is to try to close on the channel binding type  
negotiation issue within the next 2-3 weeks, and have I-D back in WGLC  
by end of June.

Individuals are of course free to set individual deadlines with  
individual consequences (some of which obviously might have an impact  
on the WG), and if they so desire, announce them to the WG.
