Re: GTTP Draft

["Adrian Farrel" <adrian@olddog.co.uk>]

All,

Recall that a tunnel trace protocol is now in our charter.
If the WG considers that GTTP is suitable, we should adopt it and drive it to conclusion.
If the WG thinks that GTTP is not suitable (or that there is no need for a tunnel trace
protocol) voices should be raised.

Cheers,
Adrian
