Hi,
In the midst of a day’s discussion about particular issue that troubles us with
technology or something else, it can be difficult to focus on topics that have
a longer timescale. As you probably remember, I had asked a design team to
write a draft about various trends around us that affect the IETF.
We got some feedback on that draft, but the draft stopped short of making
specific statements about what the IETF should do. And unless we bring the
thoughts to a bit more practical level, the discussion stays abstract and
remote. So, I thought I’d try to state my view about what we should focus on in
the future, in the hopes that it will generate discussion. Feel free to suggest
alternate views or question these!
