basically decided (proposed) by me after listening to the feedback from the
plenary in Minneapolis, and a number of private discussions.
Not that *everyone* would want to go, but that the set of people who would
want to go would be basically unknown, and not aligned along the "usual
lines", but SHOULD include a large percentage of the IETF "leadership".
(It also allows the people who do NOT want to participate a chance to
leave...)
And yes, we have explicitly invited Jorge Contreras, the "IETF lawyer".
We have used more time than I would like in getting this effort off the
ground (this is not uncommon). We are hoping to announce the mailing list
Real Soon Now.
