There is so much opposition to LMAP related solutions that I'm
skeptical if it (or any proposal) will ever be approved by anyone.
I'm still involved in ASRG, because I have the naive belief that we
can do *something* about the problem, other than sticking our
collective heads in the sand.
We are trying to re-organize and move the group forward. While it may
seem that no useful activity is going forth, we are working actively
behind the scenes to make things happen. We are hoping to reorganize the
group along the lines of a multiple subgroups, each focuses on a
specific task, and consisting of a small number of a participants that
can work effectively together away from the noise of the main list. We
are also working on getting different industry players involved, so they
can contribute. We also are working on setting up or figuring out a way
on how to be able to evaluate proposals.
Please bear with us for some time as we try to move this forward.
