Copying Henk's word, I would like to make it an even bit stronger (I've sent a similar msg to the ADs earlier): I see values of keeping GROW for another while. In addition to the need of finishing MRT work, this group seems appropriate place to help with the coming effort (which is supposedly topics of Routing area meeting on Thursday) on the need to better understand BGP table growth and on what can be done to improve BGP dynamics/churn, topics that have been covered by GROW in the past.
Sadly, the level of contribution to GROW has tapered off over the past 2 years to the point that the working group was effectively inactive. Wishing it were otherwise is a Fine Sentiment, but actually making it happen is very a tough ask.
One way of re-invigorating the effort is to draw a line at where we are and say "this working group is done" and setting forth with a new charter and a new working group with clearly articulated objectives that express what folk are interested in and willing to contribute to. This seems to be to be an ideal opportunity to do precisely that.
