So lets go back to IETF tradition. We need someone to write an i-d with all the concerns and requirements, and then make our discussion around that.

No, let's not.

This is *not* an IETF project. It is an independent group, at least for now. To date, the IETF method of creating requirements documents has often failed badly. (For those who were not involved with IDNS, James knows this very well from personal experience!)

To get it going, I started with a very prelimary scratch of the summary (hopefully capturing most of the points raised) at my Wiki.

If I missed out anything, please just wiki it on.

That's great, and it's *not* an Internet Draft. I would really prefer to see things like this than Internet Drafts, at least for many months.
