mfoltzgoogle has just created a new issue for https://github.com/webscreens/openscreenprotocol:

== Investigate alternative discovery mechanisms ==
Follow-up from Berlin F2F - See slide 43 of the [slide deck]( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dWQuJIe5tn62VdrIfR9g6LiSUEx5UMuJ/view)

This is a placeholder to investigate alternative discovery mechanisms. Currently we have specified SSDP as the non-mandatory alternative to mDNS for the V1 Open Screen protocol.  We can look at additional alternatives that may include (but not be limited to):

- A new, simpler multicast protocol that just broadcasts CBOR records.
- Bluetooth
- Internet DNS or cloud based registries
- QR codes
- NFC

Some may be out of scope per charter.  We will need to scope or revise the charter appropriately; when that is done, we can open sub-issues for further investigation.
