the middle of May as planned.
Pete,
I mostly agree with what you are saying, but I think it is too easy to
agree with the above if you are in the loop with respect to the
current discussions. For random participants, this may not all be so
obvious, so lack of clarity does have a cost.
Having said that, I still agree with the current plan to make a final
decision in May.
I do believe that we could communicate some estimated probabilities
now.
Carsten, I think that's a reasonable point, and maybe it means that Jay,
in whatever the next "state of the state" post he makes on
IETF-Announce, set expectations by saying explicitly, "Yes, we see the
likelihood as very low and we're making plans for an online meeting one
way or the other. But we're still running through the assessment and are
going to make the official call in May, if for no other reason than to
make sure we can do a reasonable assessment before having to do it again
in the fall."
