Hi Robin, Thanks for this draft. It is certainly an important topic, and your approach of surveying some examples of cross-area work is a good first start. It might also help to have some examples of failed attempts to coordinate work across areas. The next step, I think, is to draw some conclusions. What generalizations can we make? What should we do to make this go more smoothly? What processes should we put in place, and what changes should we make?

Title : Cross-Area Work in the IETF Author : Zhenbin Li Filename : draft-li-cross-area-ietf-work-00.txt Pages : 13 Date : 2019-07-26 Abstract: This document investigates the benefits of cross-area work in the IETF. It is examines existing cross-area work and identifies other possibilities for work that spans more than one area. The intention is to help community members who focus their work within a specific area to understand related work in other areas and to motivate efficient cooperation across different areas in the IETF.
