I'm sure that if you have some specific technical topics to discuss
at least
some of us would be willing to join in. I must note, however, that
your own
posts to this list over the last month or so have been about the
Maastrict
venue, IETF Logo wear and this complaint (not exactly rocket
science ;-).
I would note that these items are precisely the kinds of things that
we, as an organization, are utterly ill-equipped to handle. We cannot
use our tried and tested bureaucratic techniques to mitigate
time-consuming discussion - we cannot insist people write a draft,
propose a BOF, etc before actually discussing the issue.
Therefore, I suggest - and quite seriously, as I assure you I would
never joke about something so serious as this - that a new area be
formed forthwith to tackle what's obviously more important than any
mere technical issue. This new area - perhaps entitled the Hotel
Organizational Logistic Strategies area, could be home to a number of
key working groups, aimed at solving these fundamental issues that
plague us all.
With this in mind, I firmly look forward to seeing a requirements
document for the area, such that we can progress by initiating BOFs,
with a view to forming working groups to create further requirement
documents.
Dave.
