I'm not sure if the email I send from my ipad is getting through so
forgive me if this (approximate) reply appears twice on the list.

The chairs believe that the SCIM WG are having trouble getting
started because there is a perceived need for non-trivial changes
in a "SCIM 2.0" relative to what we have in the current published
documents.

The purpose of a design team is to help the WG start that discussion
more quickly.

The chairs expect the design team to "right-size" itself very quickly
since on the first call (which was *NOT* an IETF activity) it became
clear that many who volunteered did not expect to be called on to do
actual work.

As with all design teams the intent is to produce a draft and present
it to the WG for discussion.

The chairs are there to make sure this happens.

I hope this helps to clear things up.

	Leif
