Ted and I have spent a lot of timing trying to assist working groups that have been close to completing their work but have been unable to finish for one reason or another. We've had some success in getting work completed, but the amount of time we've spent doing clean-up work has meant that we haven't been able to devote much time to strategic thinking. We're hoping that one impact of the reduction will be that we'll have more time to start looking forward. -Scott- _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
