Re: [Tsvwg] Suggestion for Transport Area Working Group (tsvwg)

Tim

I believe this WG isn't the right place to discuss TCP anymore. We 
split off the TCP aspects of our WG into a new WG a couple of years 
ago, called TCPM (TCP Maintenance). Here is their charter page:
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/tcpm-charter.html

That said, and the TCPM WG chairs can correct me, but I think what 
you're really getting at is a policy issue, not a protocol issue. 
Therefore, perhaps this idea of yours ought to be taken to the 
TSVAREA WG, for a more generalized - yet still Transport specific - 
discussion. Here is how to subscribe to that WG:
http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tsv-area
here is the mailing list archive:
http://www.ietf.org/pipermail/tsv-area/

If that is not the right venue, you might want to address the IETF 
audience in whole, by either sending this message to the IETF.ORG 
mailing list (for all the IETF to see -- subscribe by sending a 
"subscribe" in the message body - directed at <ietf@ietf.org>), or 
speak at the microphone during one of the open plenaries during an 
IETF conference. The next conference is in Stockholm in July, 
followed by Hiroshima in November, followed by Anaheim in March 2010.
