Re: [Eligibility-discuss] NomCom selection Fwd: Notification for draft-eastlake-rfc3797bis-00.txt

[Lars Eggert <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

with the publication of RFC9389, I am ready to close the ELEGY WG. I am unaware of any suggestions for future work, with one wrinkle:

There is one wrinkle, and that is Don's I-D below. *If* there is any interest in the community that that should be talken forward at this time to become an RFC, a (rechartered) ELEGY WG seems like the correct home. (It could of course also go forward as AD-sponsored.)

(I'll note that Don hasn't indicated whether he would like to see this progressed towards an RFC, but I am assuming that he would.)

The chairs and I would appreciate some feedback on what to do here.

Thanks,
Lars
