My excuse, and a suggestion [Re: [Icar] icar futures?]

Let me explain why I didn't volunteer.

1. Too busy in the last few weeks to think seriously about it.

2. Additionally, as a member of Harald's General Area review team,
I get a few reviews to do every two weeks, plus I spontaneously
review a couple of IDs a week in my areas of interest.
So (if I had found time to think about it), I'm pretty sure I
would have concluded I have no spare capacity.

Am I unusual among the people on this list? I don't think so.

Rather than giving up, I think this WG should orchestrate a
recruiting drive during the November IETF. Set up a desk in
the registration area, hang a poster, arrange for volunteers
to staff the desk and sign people on. (And of course, send
another solicitation to ietf@ietf.org just before the meeting,
telling people they will have a final chance to help.)

If that fails, go to end of file.
