Vint,
not participating in the DTN effort was a suggestion you made when we
discussed the Bundle Protocol while walking around the golf course at
IETF Dublin in July 2008, after I raised concerns about the Bundle
Protocol work being rushed and not being technically sufficient.
Since that conversation, we have done the first in-space tests of bundle use
from the UK-DMC satellite, we wrote the "A Bundle of Problems" paper that
has belatedly been recognised as identifying problems with the Bundle
Protocol... Those and other contributions would simply not have
happened had I followed your suggestion then.
In hindsight, do you think that was a good suggestion?

ok, you don't need to participate in the WG if it is formed, Lloyd.

I'm not going to be attending the DTNWG BOF remotely, as it's
at 2am my local time - but I'd just like to point out, as I said in
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dtn/current/msg00026.html
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dtn/current/msg00054.html
that I think that having an IETF workgroup push the technically
flawed Bundle Protocol through on standards track, after years
of poor development and unfixed problems across two IRTF research
groups, is a really terribly bad idea that does not benefit the IETF
community, and does not benefit work on delay-tolerant networking
or ad-hoc networking in general.
So, I am not in favour of the proposed DTNWG being formed.
Enjoy Toronto.
