When I hear the words "white board", I immediately think unorganized and 
likely
to get out of hand. I don't know how much time we are up to now, but we must
be close to running out of it.

I have a counter-proposal, why doesn't someone, say Trond, put together
some slides on this and we discuss them.

Or, if there is a strong consensus that we do need to do this on a white
board, why don't we ask ietf for an additional slot in the morning?
