[splices] SPLICES IETF-80 meeting minutes and start of ML discussion

[Simon Pietro Romano <[e-mail]>]

Dear all,

I went again through the SPLICES session recording in order to derive a  
"faithful" summary of the things we discussed. You'll find SPLICES 
minutes at the following URL: 
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/80/minutes/splices.txt

I encourage all of you to go and have a look at them in order to:
1. notify me in case you find something which needs 
revision/re-interpretation;
2. check once more the main lines of discussion we had in Prague.

As decided at the end of the meeting, I am herein also asking you to 
formally express your opinion on the main topic we tackled at the 
meeting and which I am copying below:

"Do people believe that all the burden of this service should be on the 
side implementing the service itself?"

I remind you that the sense of the room at last IETF was clearly in 
favor of this solution, which means that we CANNOT touch the far end of 
the session when designing the SPLICES solution.

This said, I warmly invite all of the people who participated in the 
SPLICES session and who fruitfully contributed to the discussion to 
dedicate some of their cycles to SPLICES. I personally keep on thinking 
that we might do some good work here.
Finally, I encourage the authors of the documents we have been 
discussing so far to raise their voice and explicitly declare: (i) their 
willingness to proceed with the work they proposed; (ii) the main path 
forward they currently envisage in order to let the documents we 
discussed progress.

Let's try and come out of this limbo!

Cheers,

Simon
