  I'm in favour of moving forwards.  My understanding from the list thread was that there were multiple people interested in keeping RADEXT alive.  Which is why the decision to close it was a surprise.

  I'm happy to move forward with whatever means is useful.  If there are many people willing to participate, then it seems reasonable to keep RADEXT alive.

  My issue with OPSAWG is that it doesn't seem to make much more progress than RADEXT.  And while OPSAWG is "officially" the place for general things, there is a very strong bias there for items which are known to active participants  As Mohamed has pointed out, attempts to bring up other subjects are resoundingly ignored.

  Which means that in practice, it's essentially impossible to get RADIUS work done in OPSAWG.
