Stephen, " I expect that there are more and more people like myself who are drawn in for some aspect of the work, rather than a broad interest in internet. "
Humm... apparently you are alone ;-) but from my point of view this translates a real issue... how can we reconcile people with narrow focused scope with the global IETF philosophy understand the impact on the INTERNET, IETFer first think to the global consistency and ubiquity of the IP protocols; this translates IMHO some mis-understanding of the IETF in general, its WG efforts and results impact on the INTERNET. more practically i think that pre-agenda are going in the direction you point out but i am completely OPPOSED to that: because how can we determine the discussion time we would need if we don't know 1) the number of submitted I-Ds and the issue they could raise on mailing list 2) how they can impact each other so for instance it might be better to put WG X meeting before WG Y meeting (cross-WG discussion are paramount importance in the current INTERNET environment) see we in Minneapolis, - dimitri.
