Folks,
we have not received a single request for agenda items!
Some of the key contributors of the WG won't be able to come to
Minneapolis, but if the entire WG depends on only 3-4 people and no one
else has interest any more, maybe we better fold up the working group...
For now, we plan to have a discussion on the SMTP use cases (Paul Knight
will cover for Abbie and Martin - thanks!). Anyone else interested in
getting some time at the meeting, let us know ASAP.
We'll also discuss whether and how the WG should move forward - if we
don't get folks committed to work on the various items, we can close shop
soon. So, let us know - either per email or in person in Minneapolis - if
you're willing to work on one of our chartered WG items.
If there is a total lack of interest, before closing the shop, I am
interested in a clean sheet review of the architecture, wording, concepts
based upon a real analysis of what are OPES/ONES called for and to be,
where they are to be used and rebuilding a charter accordingly. I consider
the matter as fundamental to networking, to servicing and also the only way
to permit Internet evolutions, in transparently supporting them. To take
back the image I used during the initial debate, we had the choice to build
a bicycle, an Harley or a car. The current tricycle to run the 24 Hours du
Mans is not that appealing.
