IESG, A comment somewhat orthogonal to whether this WG should be chartered (I see the need, or at least the desire, but suspect the current charter is badly structured to accomplish it). It may be that, with LISP (another IMO unfortunate name) and HIP already out there, we are already obligated to do something like this. However, I strongly urge that, if the charter is accepted in principle, you move away from from acronyms that are likely to create far more confusion than the desire for demonstrating cleverness or cuteness can possibly be worth. "ideas" itself is an example. It may be an an acronym that was cleverly matched to the WG name (or vice versa) but it is also a word that implies an entirely different meaning, one that is fairly misleading relative to the intended WG's topic and more suited, if it is suitable at all for a WG name, for something exploring or brainstorming a much broader range of topics. An "ideas@ietf.org" mailing list is particularly obnoxious in that regard. <sarcasm>If people really are trying to show off how clever they can be with acronyms, how about taking the LISP precedent and figuring out words that would match some other programming language names? For example, those who oppose this might like COBOL or, more neutrally, SLIP (although that, of course, describes another piece of networking protocol (see RFC 1055)). Or someone who dislikes this might advocate calling it The Ultimate Routing Key Evolutionary Ysmmer group. </sarcasm> You get the idea -- if we want the IETF to be seen as a mature and responsible body, we really don't need to go there. "GRIDS" is as bad or worse, because "Grid" refers to a well-known networking technology about which the IETF Stream has published RFCs (See, e.g., RFC 6272). Our job is supposed to be trying to make the Internet better. It seems to me that creating confusion by side-effect of the terminology we use does not advance that goal. best, john On 29/09/17 17:13, The IESG wrote: > A new IETF WG has been proposed in the Routing Area.
