first, i want to express my deep appreciation for your taking this to the
public lists.  getting open community discussion and buy-in is important.

my two scents.  you need agreement of the assigning up-stream.  send an
email to the listed poc(s).  an approval is an approval.  no response in two
working weeks, i.e. not for example over ramadan high days, is an implicit
approval.
