Hi,

just a quick clarification: this isn't an IRTF draft *yet*, because GAIA isn't an official research group yet. (Aside: I am thinking that maybe we can have a chartering discussion during the planned Cambridge meeting.)

When GAIA is chartered, it can adopt drafts as working items. Those would then be named draft-irtf-gaia-something-or-other as opposed to draft-somethingelse-gaia-something-or-other.

The former kind of draft name signifies research group adoption, the latter signifies that a draft by individuals is *targeted* at adoption by the research group indicated in the draft name.

(I realize this distinction based on the filename isn't the most obvious; it's an historic artifact of the IETF and IRTF.)

In terms of how you should all collaborate on this draft right now, all of this has no impact - keep discussing! I just wanted to clarify some wrinkles of the IRTF process.
