I guess what I'm interested in is the boundary between categories 1 and 2. Evaluating the usefulness of this SG experiment would benefit also from knowing what kinds proposals ended up in category 1.
(Although that might be difficult to do in an objective and neutral way -- after all, for every work proposal, there's probably at least one person who think's it very clear and there's plenty of demand :-) Best regards, Pasi > -----Original Message----- > From: ext Jari Arkko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 28 September, 2007 14:16 > To: Eronen Pasi (Nokia-NRC/Helsinki) > Cc: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; > [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Gen-ART review of draft-aboba-sg-experiment-02 > > Thanks for your review, Pasi! > > > One possible addition that might help in evaluating the experiment > > when it ends: according to the current text, IESG is required to > > inform the community of any Study Groups formed.
