[multipathtcp] Possible future items for mptcp WG

[Yoshifumi Nishida <[e-mail]>]

Hello everyone,

Phil and I have been discussing the next step for the WG.
After we finish 6824bis, we ｗon't have active WG items as the proxy work
will be discussed at tcpm WG.
One suggestion might be to close the WG or to put it in dormant state,
however, we are thinking there still might be some more working items as
we've seen interesting presentations for new ideas, experiment results and
so on at the meetings and on the ML.

Below is the list of potential working items from the chairs' point of view.
Please let us know if you think some of them are important items for the WG
(and your willingness to contribute if possible) or there are some more
items, or this is not something we should work on, etc.

Also, if you have some opinions on the status of the WG or suggestions to
the chairs, please let us hear!

We appreciate your feedback

Thanks,
--
Yoshi & Phil
