IETF requires work to be done through email lists as such web forum format
would not be acceptable. G-maine list archive for this mail list is at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.asrg.general/ and it allows to view the
posts in more thread-like format and easier to search for particular
messages. Additionally quite a number of subscribers prefer email list
format over the web based forums.
In the future its possible that IETF would use software that allows for
some integration between mail lists and web forums. Currently there is a
shortage of available packages that can do it and those available are all
in early beta testing, such as phpbb m2f project (for more info see
see http://m2f.sourceforge.net/index.php which tries to integrage phpBB
forums with majordomo mail lists). I have it running on one of
our servers and can in theory set up such forum for asrg, but it
really would not work properly unless the maillist is also running on same
system, plus I think IETF is running on mailman and not on majordomo

Now while I have no idea how to replace someone as pivotal as Yakov, can I
please put forward a hopefully helpful suggestion?
I am in the process of setting up a very small hosting service and it would
honour me if the members of this group would consider allowing me to host
this group in the form of a forum.
The forum could be hosted on its own domain and use the phpbb2 forum
package.
The reason I put this forward is I find that BB style forums are so much
easier to deal with than mailing lists
Threads and topics can all be logically organised.
I am sure many of you have used such forums and can decide whether that type
of forum would be suitable.
As for my own role I would not provide any other role than support and
maintenance handing over administration to the sitting chair. with full
access to the virtual website.

Subject: [Asrg] Stepping down from the ASRG
ASRG Members,
I am writing to inform you that I am stepping down from my position as a
co-chair of the ASRG. Unfortunately, my time constraints have increased
to a point where it is impossible to me to continue ASRG work.
It has been a very exciting and unique experience for me personally, and
I want to thank all of you for contributing to it. I hope that my small
contribution to the IETF and IRTF communities has made an impact on this
group and the future of the Internet.
Sincerely,
Yakov Shafranovich
Former co-chair, ASRG
