I haven't seen any activity on this, so let me repeat this with a deadline:

The chairs ask the proponents to please get a new intro document into
reasonable (not final) shape to introduce publicly, and to submit it
as an Internet Draft with a name like "draft-SOMEONE-vwrap-intro-00"
by 10 April (the significance of which will be left for the reader to
research, should s/he care to).  There may, of course, be any
(reasonable) number of authors listed on the draft, and any one may be
the name chosen to live in the draft name.

If we're not able to do that, I think we need to seriously question
whether there's enough real energy to continue.

Barry, as chair
