So, to confirm, nothing is changing during IETF118?

There was some pushback from the transport folks on that, which I can understand. Although a lot of work recently has crossed layer abstractions, they still do serve a function -- if I go to a combined area meeting and it spends half of its agenda on congestion control, I'll be similarly disengaged and unhappy as I imagine the transport folks will be at the time consumed talking about HTTP and IMAP semantics.

No offence intended to the congestion control folks, of course...

I would strongly suggest that we combine SECDISPATCH into DISPATCH and make its scope ART, WIT, and SEC. There is already too much venue shopping / confusion between SECDISPATCH and DISPATCH, and adding a third (which your message implies will be necessary) will only add to the chaos. Getting cross-area review is very healthy at early stages.

Cheers,
