I was also surprised to see this agenda, based on the discussions on OAUTH
and SPICE lists.

I am supportive of recapping, the great work that is happening at OAUTH,
and how that work is applied outside of OAUTH to none OAUTH use cases.

I don't think work items that are close to the finish line should be
delayed, when we can all communicate effectively.
