Folks,

I'm finding it hard to evaluate the discussion as to whether
there's new work folks want to do here that'd justify forming
a (coherent) WG and that'd result in likely implementation and
deployment. I expect others may be similarly uncertain.

Would someone be willing to volunteer to act in a slightly
chair-like manner and try to summarise the discussion in a
way that might help us judge the above?

I think that might help us to e.g. organise a bit of a bar
BoF or collective chat amongst those interested while a bunch
of us are in B-A and on the list prior to that.

Thanks,
S.

PS; If you are willing to do that but shy, feel free to send to
me offlist and I can pretend I did the work:-)
