The IESG has decided to move the ALTO and DECADE working groups from the Applications Area to the Transport Area. Two factors played a role in this decision. First, the IESG feels that consolidating the standardization of peer-to-peer technologies in one Area will strengthen this important aspect of Internet engineering. Second, the current work in these WGs has strong ties to Transport work on storage protocols, congestion control and exposure, and peer-to-peer streaming. Bringing these two WGs into the Transport Area will leverage this expertise for the P2P work items in ALTO and DECADE. The Secretariat has been instructed to carry out this move immediately. David Harrington will be the responsible Area Director for both ALTO and DECADE. Also, Alexey Melnikov will the Applications Area Adviser for DECADE, and Peter Saint-Andre will be the Applications Area Adviser for ALTO.
