All,

A few of us have been discussing the breadth of proposals and drafts that are sitting inside of the IETF across various categories. 

The below list has been compiled for reference to help groups discussing gaps or overlaps, which in just about every category, there is overlap. Purely awareness driven.

This is most likely not 100% complete, and is intended to be a living document. If there is something missing, please message me privately. Any open feedback, don't hesitate to respond.
Chris
