I *personally* believe that a WG focused on MUD makes sense - I think that there are enough people interested in the topic, and enough work to make it worthwhile - this will allow us to corral the work into a single place and allow people interested in MUD to focus on that. Forming a short lived WG *should not* be a large undertaking - Yes, it does require some process wonkery with charters and such, but we should be able to use the existing work as proof that there is interest, etc. If it turns out this is not enough work to justify an entire meeting slot, we can have a joint OpsAWG / MUD meeting (which I'll agree is only a marginal change from the current situation :-) ). If, on the other hand, there is sufficient work for a slot, it will free up time in OpsAWG and allow OpsAWG to work on other stuff. Note that these are my personal views - the MUD WG, if it were to be created, would presumably be on the Management side of Ops & Mgmt, and so Ignas will have to approve / make the decision.

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf _______________________________________________ OPSAWG mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/opsawg
