I get the following sense of this list on the APPLCORE proposal: * There is significant interest in the problem * As long as the effort avoids research areas (i.e., is constrained to problems we've solved before), it's within IETF's scope. * The proposed charter does a good job at constraining the problem, but perhaps not good enough (specific suggestions welcome). * Some have suggested the "core protocol" task be dropped but that a group doing the history/problem identification task would be valuable. * Some have suggested the second work item be changed from a "core protocol" to "reusable protocol components" or "design patterns" * This should be coordinated with the HTTP-NG team and ONCRPC WG who are doing related work with different scopes. I believe the first three suffice to justify a BOF on the topic. The next two are good issues to discuss at a BOF and unlikely to be resolved on this list. Please speak up if you disagree with this characterization of the discussion so far. A new mailing list has been set up for further discussion. The subscription address is <ietf-applcore-request@imc.org>. The list will become active in about a week (feel free to subscribe now). - Chris
