Thanks a lot Mark for the work. I already assigned the Discovery DIAL/SSDP GH-issue to myself.

Subject: Open screen protocol work kickoff

Greetings Second Screen Community Group members,

After a post-TPAC pause, in which I've been focused more on Presentation API spec work and testing, I'm starting to turn my attention to the Open Screen protocol work which this group was rechartered to undertake in October [1].

I've structured the initial work by filing some Meta-issues in GitHub covering several areas that will serve as background research for drafting the protocol itself.  Each of the "meta" issues listed is liked to sub-issues listing concrete tasks or alternatives to evaluate.

I am thinking each requirements task or evaluation can be resolved by a document in MarkDown checked into the openscreenprotocol repository.

If there are additional alternatives that should be brought forward for consideration, now would be the time to file an additional GitHub issue for it; I can help link it to the appropriate meta-issue(s).

There are provisional owners assigned to specific issues based on what we had volunteers for at TPAC.  Of course, additional contributors are always appreciated.

I will start checking in requirements drafts (from the earlier work to develop the charter) and outlines for evaluation.

Once these meta-issues are knocked off, we should have some good background to discuss which alternatives we want to move forward with fuller specification.

If you have any feedback or questions on the overall work structure, let me know.

Following is a list of the open Meta issues in the repository.
