It is the perogative and responsibility of the chairs to
ensure that we make forward progress and I call on them to
step up, lead the discussion, and ensure that we stay at
a civilized and architectural level.
Once we have an architecture for a solution, THEN we can
start worrying about the bits.
This implies that we should not be looking at particular
proposals. We should not even be looking at 'categories'
of proposals. Instead, we should be talking about possible
architectures. That's one layer farther up.
The idea with doing the agenda the way we have proposed is to try and
have the best of both worlds. The idea is that the second session is
just this. Sit down and try and work out the architectural principles.
The first session is not necessarily intended to influence this
discussion (again, the first session is not the qualifying session for
the second). See the first session as a "marketing" (for the lack of
better word) event for multi6.
