Re: [Masque] Adoption call for "Requirements for a MASQUE Protocol to Proxy IP Traffic"

[Eric Kinnear <[e-mail]>]

Hi all, 

Thanks to everyone who has responded to this call for adoption as a support document. We have both positive and negative viewpoints being expressed — thanks for the valuable discussion so far. 
Ideally, we’d like to see a few more people chime in with their views and the discussion to continue towards a position from which we can move forwards.

To aid in that, we are extending the adoption call for an additional two weeks, ending October 7.
We’re especially interested in focus on what should be covered by the requirements document and if this document can be used as a starting point to get there.

Thanks, 
Eric and Chris
