Re: [atoca] The future of atoca

[Randall Gellens <[e-mail]>]

I think the group is premature until we have a clear sense of who 
will implement this, who will deploy this, and most importantly, what 
are the actual requirements.  CMAS was developed with good 
understanding of those things.  For us to do anything useful, we need 
the same.  I'd be happy to help with work if the group was on clearer 
ground.

As Henning and Mark have pointed out, we have what look like 
different use cases with different needs, such as massive scale 
alerts, small scale alerts, alerts to interested parties (the school 
closing and out-of-area notification cases), etc.  We also have 
additional complexity due to the fact that the Internet has many 
entities who will need to cooperate for this to work.

I think Keith's suggestion of keeping the list active but not the WG 
for now, and either rechartering the WG later or proceeding with 
individual submissions, makes sense for now.
