Vishwas,

While I would not dream of identifying the person who said it, I was told at 
IETF 51 in London that the reason so many groups were being chartered to 
produce use cases and requirements documents was to slow groups of new IETF 
participants down long enough for leadership to figure out what on earth 
they were talking about :p

I agree with Peter that IETF does less use cases/requirements work than most 
SDOs. My suggestion is that you may need to do this work, in this specific 
case, but do as little as possible.

Thanks,

Spencer
