Re: [GNAP] Design team formed

Hello Justin, Yaron,

Thanks for this reference. Even though the design team document is just an
input for the working group, the drafted structure generally defines the
fundament.

Is there any reason to limit the design team to 5 participants? I still do
believe my contribution to the basic structure will be too substantial to
be fitted afterward in a published initial draft.

I hereby apply again to be part of that initial team, and I do believe
there is a lot for me to bring in there now.

Best regards.
/Francis
