[arch-d] 2 suggestions from the IAB open meeting

[Lixia Zhang <[e-mail]>]

I would like to support the following 2 suggestions I heard from today’s open meeting

1/ setting up a separate mailing list for discussions on adm/liaison  related issues.  
This would leave arch-discuss just for technical arch issues as its name called.

2/ looking into a workshop on internet centralization/decentralization.

I agree with the comments that extended discussions are needed on the topic, and see the workshop preparation could serve as a drive for focused discussions.

If a workshop is to be planned, IAB might start with an open agenda and solicit inputs from the broader community, e.g. what topics (and sub-topics) to be consider for the agenda

PS: I would also like to take opportunity to clarify one of my text comment at the IAB open meeting: 
My comment is something like “protocol designs are what we do. The real question is what kinds of protocols we design”

I saw a couple responses like “but IAB can be a lot more than that (protocol designs)” — of course.  My comment was only on the protocol design part.
