Re: Modemmgt Working Group status

[IETF NM-AD <[e-mail]>]

Thank you for your summary.  Although I am willing to grant the WG a
second extension, I'm going to require that a more aggressive timetable
be followed.

The WG was scheduled to complete in October, 1993.  I granted the WG a
three month extension.  Virtually all concensus was reached in the WG
during the last two weeks of this extension.  As such, I feel that
granting an additional two month extension would merely result in the
WG waiting until the last two weeks to try to reach closure.

Instead, I offer the following timeline.  If the WG finds this to be
unacceptable, then I will regretfully ask the IESG to terminate the WG,
and invite individual members of the WG to appeal to the IESG for a
reversal.

 1. The WG must reach concensus on a submitted I-D by Friday,
    February 18.  If it can not, then I will ask the IESG to terminate
    the WG, without further discussion. 

 2. If the WG does reach concensus on a submitted I-D by 2/18, then I
    guarantee that the NM Directorate will complete its review no later
    than Friday, March 4.  The WG will then have until Friday, March
    18th to incorporate the comments from the NM-D and achieve concensus
    on a submitted I-D.  During this period, only those issues raised by
    the NM-D review should be discussed by the WG.

I await your response.
