good.

use cases have been part of the discussions but were not fully documented.

Let’s see if we can find editors for use cases. I would like to just say that while it is good to have a perfect use-case -> work items -> document process (and I always agreed in principle on this, and the bof agenda was constructed that way), we may end up loosing energy in the working group, if we are way too picky. So a good balance here is needed.

that was the intent. the list of « phase 2 » is essentially a placeholder for topics that we talked about but were not getting concensus to work on initially. So we will discuss these later.
