CfC to shelve Network Service Discovery API - respond by 11 January

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to shelve the Network Service Discovery API since we are no longer actively working on it. The most recent Working Draft was published in 2014 [1]. Shelving makes it clear to everyone that we are not actively working on it and may not advance it (or that we may change the approach). 

To avoid any potential confusion this is a call for consensus to 'shelve' the document.   Concretely this means the following:

1. Publish a W3C Note for the Network Service Discovery API  with the following changes from the latest WD publication:

+ Note in the Status section "Work on this document has been discontinued and it should not be referenced or used as a basis for implementation."

+ Remove all content apart from the Abstract and Status sections.

If we agree, we can prepare the draft for publication as a note.

2. Remove the Network Service Discovery API  from the DAS Roadmap [2], add to the list of shelved documents.

Please respond if you agree (a +1 will suffice) that (a) DAS discontinue work on the Network Service Discovery API, and (b) we publish a Note to shelve the draft as noted and (c) we move the  Network Service Discovery API to the DAS list of shelved documents. Note that when we shelve  a document we are free to resume work at a later date if we so choose.

If you have any concerns please respond as well. Silence will be taken as agreement with the CfC.

Please respond by 11 Jan 2017.

Thanks and Happy New Years to all.

regards, Frederick
