[Rfced-future] Upcoming meeting: aiming towards approaches

[Eliot Lear <[e-mail]>]

Dear colleagues:

The chairs have been tracking all conversations that have been taking place, and the contributions have been made.  Thank you all for providing your views to each other, and for responding to Brian’s earlier questions.  As you might imagine, we have been reviewing your input and refining based on your comments and other contributions.

For IETF 108, we would like to test where consensus is on various key points.  Refining our earlier list of questions based on the list discussion, we now think we should ask:
Is there a person other than Jay who manages the RPC?
Would people like to see a board, a standing working group/program, or both?
Is there a leader who can run a community who is expert in publishing?
There are obviously follow-up questions to each of these.  We are not calling these questions now but are asking merely if you agree that these are the right questions to ask.  We do not want to ask too many questions, so that there is at least a little bit of time for discussion of points arising from the answers.

Focusing dialog on the list to address whether we have the questions right rather answering them would be helpful, as we will have limited “in person” time at the meeting.

Brian and Eliot
