This draft is getting a lot of positive responses.
Here is a snippet from the charter describing this deliverable:

  1. Selectors for packet sampling. Define the set of primitive 
  packet selection operations for network elements, the parameters 
  by which they may be configured, and the ways in which they can be combined. 

  2. Packet Information. Specify extent of packet that is to be made 
  available for reporting. Target for inclusion the packet's IP header,
  some subsequent bytes of the packet, and encapsulating headers if present.
  Full packet capture of arbitrary packet streams is explicitly out of scope.
  Specify variants for IPv4 and IPv6, extent of IP packet available under 
  encapsulation methods, and under packet encryption. 

The charter says these two items will be combined in 1 draft.
So I have 3 questions for you and the WG:
1) Should these topics really be combined into 1 draft?  If so,
   would you be willing to take on the Packet Information topic
   as part of your draft?
2) Should this document be a standards track or informational RFC?
   If standards track, it is hard to pick out the normative text 
   in your draft. 
3) Are there any objections to using this draft as the baseline
   version of this WG deliverable?  If no objections are made to
   the WG mailing list by 5PM EDT, 9/12/2002, then I will ask Tanja
   to submit this draft as a product of the PSAMP WG. If anyone
   is interesting in submitting an alternative proposal to the WG,
   they should submit a first draft by this deadline.
