The reason expressed by the ADs was that since there had been no drafts and that the last milestone as long gone that the group hadn't produced and that the group was closed. No one at the apps meeting said anything in favor of it. I was waiting on the chair to say something but when Alex didn't (he wasn't there) I kept my mouth shut thinking that the ADs had talked to Alex about it first. > Is this true, and is it irrevocable? Does it mean that the IETF considers > DASL dead? Or can it be revived? I think the groups main problem was no drafts. Circulating edits on the list is fine but it shows no _official_ progress. I.e. every major edit should be an ID. If it can be revived should be between the group (preferably represented by the chair) and the Area Directors. Is that possible at this point? I don't know. One good thing would be to publish a draft now with warts and all. BTW, you should be aware that Ned Freed is the new Apps AD. So your Area Advisor will probably be him instead of Keith. -MM -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Mealling | Vote Libertarian! | www.rwhois.net/michael Sr. Research Engineer | www.ga.lp.org/gwinnett | ICQ#: 14198821 Network Solutions | www.lp.org | michaelm@netsol.com
