Re: [MEXT] the future of the MEXT working group

Jari

Thanks for this update.  I want to clarify plan of the existing activity, HA reliability doc,  in MEXT. 
This document completed WGLC and went nowhere after all. 
It supposes to be proposed standard RFC.
Do you want to finish this work with AD sponsor? or just trash it?

thanks

The chairs and ADs have looked at the situation and we believe we need a new focus and a bit of new organization as well. We are terminating the working group and moving the one remaining active work item to a new working group, the "DMM" working group. Here's what is going to happen:
