Folks: One of the action items in the Minneapolis meeting was to ensure that all working group participants have a common understanding of the problem we have been chartered to solve.
Clearly, those following the proceedings from the May 2008 IETF/MIT workshop may have an advantage over others in this respect. To remedy that situation, I will like to direct the attention of the participants to the following pair of documents, possibly read in this order, as the first draft provides context on the discussion we had in the MIT workshop back in May 2008: 1) The P2Pi workshop report (please see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-p2pi-cooper-workshop-report-00) 2) The problem statement draft (please see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-marocco-alto-problem-statement-03) To move forward in a concrete manner, I would like to entreat those who will be reading the above two documents for the first time: could you kindly ensure that the problem is sufficiently identified and documented in the problem-statement draft such that a neophyte reader is able to quickly understand and appreciate it. Among those that read the problem-statement draft or have been following this work since the workshop, the bulk of the discussion in the Minneapolis IETF was on the fate of the Solutions Consideration section of the draft. To wit, there were two ways to handle this section: 1) Move it to the requirements document. 2) Keep it in the problem-statement document, but rename it as a problem-statement-applicability document. It would be great if explicit comments on the problem statement were provided on this list to help the editor of the problem statement revise the draft. If you'd like to refresh your recollection of the problem-statement discussion, please see the various media files related to this discussion at the ALTO wiki page (http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/alto/trac/wiki).
