[regext] regarding adopting new documents and milestones

["James Galvin" <[e-mail]>]

By now you should have seen the draft agenda for IETF103.  On it you 
will see 8 requests for adopting new documents as working group 
milestones.  The chairs are concerned that we should not adopt quite 
that many new documents all at once.

If you look at our current milestone list, there are 3 open milestones.  
One of these (“EPP Domain Name Mapping Extension for Bundling 
Registration”) we expect to close quite soon as the shepherd is 
actively preparing the writeup.  This leaves us with 2 milestones we may 
wish to reconsider whether to keep or not.

The chairs are proposing that the working group should not have more 
than 5 open milestones at a time.  We can discuss if that’s the right 
number but for now we will use that as our starting point.

Given that two milestones will remain on our list we will only have room 
for 3 new documents to adopt.

We are asking the group to think about the following questions.

1. How many open milestones should we allow ourselves to have?

2. Do we want to reconsider any currently open milestones?

3. Of the 8 documents being proposed for adoption, which ones are the 
priorities, i.e., the documents we want to adopt first?

The last item on our agenda is a discussion of our milestones.  We will 
use this time to consider the questions listed above.

Please note, whatever priorities we create from this discussion will 
need to be brought to the mailing list for final agreement.  We will 
follow that with a separate individual request for adoption of each 
document selected by the working group.

If you have any questions or comments please do respond to the list.

Thanks,

Antoin and Jim
