Hi all, We have received a lot of great comments during and after the BoF on the charter [0]. After the Bof, Brian [1] and Jonathan [2] have taken a shot at rewriting a more streamlined charter from the ground up based on the comments received. Since these are complete rewrites, I think we may have to dig in a bit deeper to see where the points of disagreement are. From my reading of these two proposals and the comments on github, these aspects seem to be some of the questions that we need to answer before we can work on more focused edits on the charter 1. Is the output of the working group a substrate or only a set of semantics? 2. Should the session lifecycle be in scope? 3. Do we have to work on correlation only, or do we need proof of binding as well? 4. Do we need to support point-to-multipoint or is bilateral communication sufficient? 5. How many deliverables, what status, in what order? 6. How much of the terminology should we define in the charter, and on the flip side how comfortable we are building on vaguely defined terms? Are there other things we need to consider? Your inputs are greatly appreciated. Thanks Suresh [0] https://github.com/ietf-artarea/charters/blob/main/agentproto/charter.md [1] https://github.com/ietf-artarea/charters/pull/77/ [2] https://github.com/jdrosen/aiproto-wg/pull/48
