Perhaps it's already clear, but in case anyone doesn't know, the Member
Submission process is only for work that is outside the scope of any
working group [1]. I guess the thinking here is that it will be
determined later ("time permitting") whether or not it's in scope. In
that case, I suppose a Member Submission would be okay, but it stikes me
as rather heavyweight.
