I hate to be a killjoy, but... Once upon a time the IESG used to supply a little text to include in this sort of announcement under the "Purpose" heading to allow us to work out whether we wanted to subscribe to the list. Since network slicing seems to be something that is done in a number of ways already, it would be nice to get a handle on what the purpose of this discussion forum is.
