I'm working on lots of other things, and somehow I suspect that others are more qualified than I am to get this rolling. The point is that both defining how this should work and writing proof-of-concept code are things that don't need to involve the secretariat. It makes more sense for the secretariat to take this on after we're sure we know what we want and it's been demonstrated to work well, than to impose another vaguely specified burden on a secretariat that is already quite busy.
