I presented for Stephen Bensley from Microsoft (CC'ed), who is the main driver of the IETF spec. (My contribution was mostly having an intern do a FreeBSD implementation, which is being reviewed for inclusion over there.)

While the TCPM working group may or may not decide to take this spec on as a work item, there is also a newly starting "datacenter latency control (DCLC)" research group on the IRTF side that may give this a home if TCPM takes a pass. (Mailing list https://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/dclc; wiki http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/group/irtf/trac/wiki/dclc)
