Hi Bill,

As per the summary of the two virtual interim meetings that took place 
post-IETF-108 (see 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/gendispatch/6Od2aX-uiYGdYCKZqfvrOHHtY58), 
it was the rough consensus of GENDISPATCH that a "quick-spin" WG be 
formed to take on these issues and that draft-gondwana (rather than 
draft-knodel) would be a reasonable starting point for that WG's work. A 
draft charter started floating around last week, and we expect work to 
take place there if the WG is chartered. I'm sure the AD and the 
proponents of the WG would appreciate your comments on the proposed 
charter (see 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/gendispatch/Zm8vtslsgMO-PbIEujvtZodVJBg). 
Until the official WG Review announcement goes out, it appears that this 
list is being used for discussion of the charter.

In my opinion, if the WG gets chartered, it is almost certain that some 
of the ideas in draft-knodel will be merged into the WG's document(s).

Cheers,

pr
