3 is my first preference and 2 is my second preference Thanks, John -----Original Message----- From: Wijnen, Bert (Bert) [mailto:bwijnen@lucent.com] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 2:40 PM To: subip-area@subip.ietf.org Subject: FW: Reminder: Deadline for input on sub-ip discussion Forwarded from IETF mailing list Thanks, Bert -----Original Message----- From: Harald Tveit Alvestrand [mailto:harald@alvestrand.no] Sent: maandag 9 december 2002 22:22 To: ietf@ietf.org Subject: Reminder: Deadline for input on sub-ip discussion All, On Wed Dec 4th, we asked for input to help us decide on the future of the SUB-IP Area. See our posting at http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/ietf/Current/msg18370.html We had a large majority of people at the SUBIP Area meeting in Atlanta expressing that they want the area to be long(er) lived. This will be part of our input. But we need/want to hear from the IETF community. So please express your opionion (and the reasoning behind it) asap on ietf@ietf.org, but certainly before Thursday Dec 12th 10am US Eastern time. As expressed in the above posting (with data points and discussion included), the 3 choices for the SUB-IP Area seem to be: 1/ move WGs (back) to permanent areas: migrate the SUB-IP working groups to other IETF areas sometime soon, likely before next summer and close the SUB-IP area. Also, reconstitute the SUB-IP (and/or other) directorates to ensure the continued coordination between the remaining WGs. 2/ establish a long-term area: decide that the SUB-IP area will be a long-term one, clearly define its charter, and ask the nomcom to select one or two people to be Area Directors 3/ status quo: continue the SUB-IP Area as a temporary, ad-hoc effort, much as it has been, with the IESG selecting two sitting ADs to continue the effort that Bert & Scott have been doing. But maybe give more responsibility to the working group's technical advisors, normally the AD from the area where the working group might otherwise live. The opinions expressed so far seem to show clearly that the community is divided on the issue, with perhaps some preference for the status quo (alternative 3). If you have a strong preference for one (or two) of these, and have not yet said so, please indicate your opinion (and your reasons) by mail to ietf@ietf.org before Thursday. Thank you!
