Interested: sure. However, given the fact that the working group seems to have trouble focusing on it's milestones (as described in the charter), I'd like to ask everybody to *also* help us to get these other tasks finished -- as of now this means BIND (then REDIRECT) and RFC2518bis (where I feel that we should try to resolve all locking related issues first in case we make the decision to extract locking into a separate spec).
