Proposd agenda for editors call tomorrow

["Mark Day" <markday@cisco.com>]

Here's what I expect will be discussed on the editors call tomorrow.

1. Agenda bashing
2. State of requirements work
  a. Request-routing requirements (Brad Cain)
  b. Distribution requirements (Stephen Thomas)
  c. Accounting requirements (Jay Guha)
3. Which documents are called out as deliverables in the charter? (Mark Day)
4. Proposed organization of design calls & inclusion of non-editors (Mark
Day)

So as not to keep anyone in suspense, here's the quick version of what I
will propose for items 3 and 4:

I think that we should organize our working group charter around finishing
the requirements work we've started, as well as some of the other documents
that went into the BOF. I don't think that we yet have a sufficiently sound
basis for organizing protocol design efforts as a WG.  I do think that we
should be encouraging individual submissions of protocols intended to meet
the developing requirements, but the WG should treat them as inputs to the
requirements definition process.  If we complete the requirements rapidly,
we should find it straightforward to recharter the group to develop the
protocols.

I would also recommend that we alternate weeks between specialized design
team calls (each call focusing on a particular document) and an overall
design team call.  So in week 1 we would have a call of all editors and
authors; in week 2 the request-routing people would have a call among
themselves, the distribution people would have a different call, the
accounting people would have yet another call, etc.; in week 3 we would have
another call of all editors and authors.
