Re: [Dtls-iot] dice wg future work... or time to declare victory?

Going thoroughly (once again) through all the DICE emails discussing the group communication, I can clearly see that the group communication work had most valid criticism and some fake criticism (unfortunately more loud). There is a new draft (draft-tiloca-dice-secure-groupcomm-00) that carefully addresses the valid criticism and provides detailed solutions. 
I will vote for keeping the DICE active with new energy and finish the charter and declare victory.
