I believe that the request to turn this discussion into a WG discussion was
made several days ago.

This is one area where we must make our procedures not impede progress!

Clearly people are excited and want to push this through; while the IPR
concern is a real one, the WG process should not work against getting things
done.

I see that, in order to create a working group [1], there must be a
membership vote of 7 days where at least 20% of the membership votes in
favor of the creation of the group.

It's unclear how we initiate this vote, or if it's already been requested.
Perhaps you could clear this up on the wiki page and also let us know where
we are in the process of creating the WG?
