[std-proposals] Submitting a proposal - Catch 22?

I'm trying to figure out how to submit a proposal correctly and I'm reading:

https://isocpp.org/std/submit-a-proposal
* write a draft proposal and circulate a link to it on the std-proposals
   mailing list
* I've circulated prior versions of
   https://lyncon.se/~ted/try_lock_for_until_R2.pdf
   and hope it's now in shape to submit.
* You’ll have got a proposal that’s in shape to be "submitted as an
   official numbered paper" for consideration at an ISO C++ standards
   meeting

When following the link to
https://isocpp.org/std/standing-documents/sd-7-mailing-procedures-and-how-to-write-papers
it says:
* This document is intended for WG21 committee members. If you are not a
   committee member, please see the "How To Submit a Proposal" page for
   public instructions about how to get started with a proposal.

which leads me back to https://isocpp.org/std/submit-a-proposal

Maybe I'm tired, but ... what's the correct action here?

Best regards,
Ted Lyngmo
