Re: [Extra] Discussion of charter and SMTP related work

["Bron Gondwana" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Michael, 
 
It's possible, but I don't think the objections that were raised at Montreal have changed since then. 
 
We actually discussed how that session went and whether there's anything we could have done in terms of preparation to help set your expectations on how the IETF process works and that we're more interested in the problem to be solved and the technical requirements and challenges than in a particular pre-defined solution. 
 
We'd definitely love to keep talking about the problem that CLIENTID is looking to solve in the EXTRA group, or Alexey might have suggestions for a different venue for security work (which is not currently in our scope). We definitely see CLIENTID as being largely security related. 
 
Bron.
