Good point. Let's take a parallel with how the IETF divides work with
groups working on lower layers. When we formed the sub-IP area the
philosophy was that the IETF would take on sub-IP issues iff ...
- The work depends on IP expertise, which is here,
- That it is critical to the development of the IP infrastructure, and
- That it directly or indirectly affects operations or routing at the
IP layer.
Reflect that upwards.
