Thanks Ray,

I would also like the WG to read this draft before entering the discussion
on this topic.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-stw-whatsinaname

While currently a -00 individual submission there is some very good
guidance in this document that might help frame everyone's thoughts.

Thanks
Terry
