There is another reason for the ITU to act here.

The present situation is that it takes literally years
to get an RFC published nowadays
(before which we only have a "work in progress")
while with the alternative (read "fast")
approval procedure in the ITU, 
we can get a document published in about a year
from beginning to end.

At least this was the reasoning behind the
Y.1413 and Y.1415 work. 
I don't know when we will have the RFCs, 
but implementers of TDM and Ethernet PWs 
now have authoritative stable documents from which to work.
