Re: [GGIE] DRAFT bof proposal for IETF 98 in Chicago

["Ben Campbell" <[e-mail]>]

Hi, Leslie, thanks for sending this.

The ART ADs would like to see comments on the following:

- Do you plan to work on this if it becomes a working group? That is, 
would you expect to engage in discussion, review drafts, or even 
possibly edit drafts?

- Are you likely to implement and/or deploy the results?

- Does the scope seem right? That is, does this all belong in one WG 
and/or area, or are there aspects that might belong somewhere else?

Of course, discussion on other aspects is also welcome.

Thanks!

Ben.
