It seems to me, taking Melinda's remarks into account, that the one work 
item missing from this announcement is the means whereby management is 
tied together along a path. The original TIME/LIME proposal spoke in 
terms of discovery by a centralized management application. Melinda 
suggests path-coupled management messages, possibly intercepted by 
management modules in varying sorts of devices along that path. Would 
this be an appropriate item of exploration within the charter?
