RE: No Minneapolis Meeting

I absolutely agree that we should get together in Minneapolis. I
think we've made good progress on definitions, and some of the recent
drafts have made good strides. (And, I'm embarrassed to say, I and
my colleagues have revised our I-D, but we had a last minute glitch
and missed the deadline -- I will be posting a link to our revision
later today).

I think a formal WG meeting would be great. If that cannot happen,
then I suggest that we identify a workable 1-2 hour period and a room
where anyone interested can sit down and work through the issues
(importing, of course, appropriate refreshments from the bar).
