Re: Request for Agenda ITems at IETF 61

Folks,

given the circumstances, we decided to cancel the OPES meeting at IETF 
61. This is regrettable, but we should now focus on getting the new 
work started and making some good progress in the very near future. 
This will allow us to have a really good meeting with "lots of meat" 
at IETF 62.
As OPES moves into new territories (e.g. our proposed SMTP work), we 
should leverage the kind of cross-Area/cross-group fertilization that 
is facilitated by the IETF, and by the IETF meetings, in particular. 
As such, we must not skip the next meeting, and I encourage everyone 
interested in OPES to come and also be active in the meetings. [I 
understand, though, that funding is any issue for many].
Thanks,
  Markus
