The way the discussion has evolved suggests to me that the name of the role might change.


Looking at the slides, we are specifically talking solely about the title of Slide 10, and I have now updated the terminology.

Indeed.  There is a big if in the title of slide 11.

I understand the inconvenience.  We are operating via the IETF scheduler for 108.  We can have interims at different times once we get past this next meeting.  The chairs will want to ruminate first on the results of our hums.  This having been said, recognizing this situation, I ask that those who can do their best to join so that they can participate in the hum.  It is true that we always confirm these sorts of things on mailing lists, but it is easier for all to be present, especially since we are operating in new territory when it comes to hums.
