[Joe] I think the question is more about what the protocol would do.  The
charter suggests protocols to do the following:

1. Retrieve playbooks from a source  (numbered item 3)
1.5 Way to discover playbooks (this is probably heavily reliant on another
protocol)
2. Submit a playbook to be executed and obtain success/failure and a list
of results (numbered item 5)
3. Submit a playbook for verification and obtain a result of valid/invalid
(combination of 2 and 4?)

It seems like 1 is basic.  1.5 seems fundamental as well, although its
possible this could be work for another WG or SDO.

I think we are having some discussion on whether 2 is in scope.   I'm not
sure if 3 is a thing or not.
