Re: [tap] RFC Status?

[Ovid <[e-mail]>]

What do you think that would be the next steps to push forward a TAP 14 draft, and make some progress on the RFC? Maybe something like monthly meetings in IRC or some other IM, and some discussion panels in hackathons/meetups? 
The immediate need is for someone to take ownership of the IETF process and publicly say "I'll see this through." There was a lot of great work done in the past, but we're obviously not there yet.

Next, the goal needs to be clearly defined. I would also suggest we define why we want the goal accomplished. Once done:
	1. What we've successfully done.

	2. What we still need to do.

	3. What might need to change (danger, Will Robinson!)

Those three items can give us a TODO list. Item #1 might seem superfluous, but when tackling a large project, I like to remind people of all of the groundwork already laid to keep things in perspective. Plus, a sense of historical context might help those who are unfamiliar with the history.

With that, we can start scratching items off out TODO list one-by-one. I would humbly suggest that we not go with monthly meetings as they're so hard to organize. Instead, keep the list open, have the TODO list on a github wiki and let's see what we can make happen.

Best,
Ovid
