[homenet] Closing Homenet (was Re: Homenet Mission accomplished ?)

["Eric Vyncke (evyncke)" <[e-mail]>]

Dear Homenet WG members,

With all the 2 remaining WG documents in the RFC Editor queue (but pending on a missing reference[1]), as the current responsible AD for Homenet and in agreement with the current chairs (Kiran Makhijani and Stephen Farrel), I am closing the working group.

The mailing list will be kept active as it is usually the case.

6 RFCs have been published since this WG creation in July 2011. Even, if we had higher expectation for deployments than in the reality, this WG was a forum for discussion. Let's hope that the child WG, SNAC, will be a success.

Thank you and congratulations to all participants, past and active chairs, past AD for the hard work done.

Regards

Subject: [homenet] Homenet Mission accomplished ?

Dear Homenet,

As you may have read on https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/homenet/documents/ the last WG documents have been approved for publication:
- draft-ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation-26 had a major rewrite end of 2022 and the intended status is now experimental per IESG request
- draft-ietf-homenet-naming-architecture-dhc-options-24 was approved mid-2022 but I was delaying its approval until the main I-D was finally approved, the change of status in the main document has created a downref (i.e., a formal reference to an experimental I-D), but this downref was accepted by the IESG

All in all, it seems that the Homenet WG can now be closed. As the responsible AD for Homenet, I will discuss with the chairs when to close this long-lasting WG ;-) Of course, the mailing list will be kept active.

Note: the perimeter security item of the charter will not be completed.

As usual, comments are welcome.

Regards and thanks for all the hard work done in Homenet
