this is *not* meant to cut off the discussion we had so far, but looking
at the time table it's time to submit a -00 version of the draft. It's
important to do this before the cut-off date for IETF 62.
I suggest to submit the draft as WG document now. NOTE: Discussions will
continue and updated/modified versions of the draft will be produced. But
it's just important that we've a proper reference point.
Possible changes before publishing the -00 version should focus on adding
new use cases that were brought up during the discussion. Discussions will
continue to possibly categorize these uses cases and to decide on which
categories might be in scope or out of scope. Seems fine to have this
discussion based on a -00 draft.
Abbie, Martin - can you please prepare the draft and submit it as WG
document by end of this week? Please copy Tony and myself when you submit,
so that we can approve it right away.
Please keep the discussion going - updates on the -00 draft will certainly
be made.
I hope so :-) as I am unable to understand it. To keep the discussion
rolling ....
I accept I have a very low IQ. I accept I have a real world network user
oriented vision. But it MAY happen that some readers share that problem, or
even have a lower IQ or even are real users and implementors, even that
some are developpers and need to have a reference book in hands. In a
document which is to make them know what the intended neywork building
block(s) is(are) about, what it/they can do and how it/they is/are to be
used, it would help to address these points in a way dumb stupid people
like me understand this is about use-cases.
Case 1 - I am sending a mail
Case 2 - I am receiving a mail
Case 3 - I am operating a MTA business service
Case 4 - I am operating an OPES business service
Case 5 - I am operating a network
Case 6 - I am operating a mailing list
Case 7 - I am designing an MTA
BTW, how many people are we on this WG ?

Thanks,
