Subject: [dcon] DCON BOF meeting minutes
Precedence: list

Dear all,

on behalf of my co-chair and myself, I just uploaded the draft minutes 
of the DCON BOF session on the IETF meeting materials page. You can find 
them at the following URL:
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/82/minutes/dcon.txt
Please, have a look at them and send me and Brian your comments and 
modification suggestions asap. I think the minutes themselves represent 
a clear picture of the discussion we had around DCON since it was first 
proposed by myself on the DISPATCH mailing list.
After listening to the recordings I have to say that I was left with a 
fine sensation of unfinished: the discussion was great, people's 
comments were right on target and it really looked like we might, 
altogether, do a great work. Though, as it also comes out from the final 
part of the discussion associated with the charter and hums, it is also 
clear that there is probably not enough energy today in the IETF to 
start "yet another" WG.
I personally think this is really a pity and would like to seize this 
occasion to make a final call for heads up. If some of you are 
interested to actively contribute to the proposed work, please say it 
now on this mailing list! Contributing means either writing 
specifications or reviewing documents and commenting on the ML, or both 
things.
Personally, being the chair of the "close to euthanasia" SPLICES working 
group, I'm the first who wants to avoid the creation of a group with too 
little energy. I also acknowledge the fact that there are currently 
other groups in the RAI area which are attracting most of the efforts 
and requiring us to spend a huge number of cycles (even just to keep the 
pace of the mails circulating on the mailing list). Though, I definitely 
encourage you to give DCON a chance and get involved.

Cheers to everybody...and sorry for the long e-mail,

Simon
