The Extended Incident Handling (inch) in the Security Area has concluded. The IESG contact persons are Russ Housley and Sam Hartman. The mailing list will remain active. The Inch working group was chartered to facilitate exchange of incident handling information. It failed to meet its milestones and is being closed. In May of 2006 the chair and area director discussed concerns about overdue milestones and agreed to a new, final set of milestones. Both parties left that discussion with a new set of milestones and an understanding that the working group was expected to meet these milestones or face significant consequences. By September, all milestones were missed. On September 24, the area director issued a two-week call for volunteers to act as co-chairs to help the working group produce timely output. No volunteers stepped forward. Based on this and other signs of low participation, the area director concluded that it is unlikely the working group can be successfully reorganized to produce timely output. Documents already submitted to the IESG will be evaluated for publication. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
