Re: [rsvp-dir] RSVP directorate formed

[Gorry Fairhurst <[e-mail]>]

Hello RSVP directorate!

Now that a directorate exists, I'd like help in two ways to manage the 
RSVP work in TSVWG:

1) I'm assuming that you will help with selecting appropriate work for 
adoption of TSVWG (as per the top bullet below). How do you see this 
working, specifically there are a number of drafts that currently have 
not become work items - despite author pleas - while we waited for 
clarification of how to handle RSVP work. Undoubtedly I'll be asked if 
these can become work items. As usual I'll push-back on need to do the 
work, and people to review/contribute to the drafts. Are there current 
drafts know to the directorate that would seem ready and important 
enough that the WG should consider taking these on?

2) Would someone from the directorate like to say "hi we're here and 
this is our remit" - taht would be helpful in the tsvwg meeting!
