Will do. I discussed with David Black as well and he will try to help me. Thanks for considering this

Sorin,

It would be helpful to have access to some of these ideas prior to a presentation at the meeting.  Email or a short, personal I-D would be preferred so that we can see how it fits into the overall agenda.

Spencer,

If the agenda is not closed yet I would like 10 minutes to discuss new attributes for data reduction. Just slides presenting the problem and few ways to address it. It could bridge into the pNFS SCSI but only indirectly as the purpose of the new attributes are referring to NVMe. Please let me know if I can get 10 min. thanks

Since it has been 18 months the expiration, etc., I just want to be realistic about keeping it as a WG milestone.

The work can certainly continue and we can readapt the milestones - just doing some housecleaning.

For a prototype implementation, probably nothing. You can still communicate
any interesting findings to the document author or the Working Group.
