As reflected in the minutes, during the LEDBAT WG meeting at IETF 75,  there was consensus (18:0) for adoption of "Low Extra Delay Background Transport" (draft-shulanov-ledbat-congestion) as a WG work item, with Experimental status.  A request for confirmation was subsequently sent to the mailing list on July 29, 2009. 

The request for confirmation, concluding on August 7, 2009 resulted in additional comments on the document (see http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ledbat/current/msg00172.html), but no additional votes for or against adoption.  

The consensus of the LEDBAT WG meeting at IETF 75 is therefore confirmed.  After addressing the comments from the adoption call, draft-ietf-ledbat-congestion will be submitted to the Internet-Drafts archive, becoming a LEDBAT WG work item.
