Hello all, I'd like to put together the agenda for our meeting in LA. There are some points which previous experience suggests might be fruitful in terms of generation of discussion, but I'd like to flush out issues _now_ so that we can have an organized meeting session. I don't want to stifle discussion or suppress creativity, but I remarked during the Washington meeting that the discussion would have been more useful if we'd had time to talk about/think about the points beforehand. After all, if the issues are THAT important to people, I'm confident you can invest 5 minutes in writing them down and sharing them now! What I'd like to ask you is to send any issues you currently perceive as needing discussion to the mailing list before Thursday of next week. Hopefully, this will give us a "leg up" on discussion before the meeting. I will circulate a draft agenda at (or about) 5pm EST on Thursday, March 26. If issues don't make it onto that agenda, I reserve the right to be ruthless about cutting off discussion of them during the meeting. To help people get into gear for this, here's a little of what I think might generate discussion points: As the documents stand now, this group is essentially done with the bulk of its work. The proposal for the outstanding issue of contention is (from draft-ietf-urn-nid-req-02.txt): . x- is reserved for "experimental" NIDs . there is a straightforward, mechanical method whereby anyone can get a NID assigned (where the NID will be some sequence of numbers) . there is a slightly more formal, yet mechanical, method for achieving assignment of requested NID strings. Once we finish with the final details of this draft (e.g., where to submit the required detail), we can thus expect to see URNs "go live", and urns such as: urn:x-myspace:who-needs-hierarchy-anyway urn:0123486999:somepublisher-cooking.chocolate.12340-666 urn:catspace:dinner.mouse.munch.munch.munch urn:pdi://oma.eop.gov/1997/09/01.text.2 appearing shortly thereafter. I think this is a workable proposal; unless there is further discussion that yields a better, suitable, implementable proposal, this is how things will go forward. So, discussion item, anyone? Thanks, Leslie. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "_Be_ Leslie Daigle where you _are_."
