All, Last week, the IESG met for our annual "retreat" and reviewed the fine work that you've all gotten done related to this list in the last year and a half. The slides we used for that chat are at [1].
The outcome was that the IESG are happy that we're continuing to use this list for triage of relevant topics, but more importantly that the IESG remain fully supportive (I asked a few times, just to be sure:-) of people doing work in the IETF to make improvements in this space. That's not as much of a NOOP as it may sound - the IESG has had a good few personnel changes since 2013, so it's really quite a good thing. Anyway, that means that if you have a relevant draft you've written and we need to figure out a home for that or how to process it within the IETF, then you should ask Kathleen or me when you think your stuff is ready. If you think some work should be done and are willing to do that, then please start a thread here and we can discuss it, but be ready to write drafts etc. to actually do the work wherever in the IETF it may land. (If you think someone else should do some work, then I have to say that that doesn't really usually work out so maybe think a bit more before starting a thread that asks us all to go get you a pony:-) And as always, Kathleen and I are available to help if you're not sure how to get stuff done, whether it's relevant etc. Just send one or both of us mail and we'll try help. There were also a few specific actions that IESG folks took to try shuffle things forward (e.g. I'm supposed to help Jari write a blog or some other non-natural-for-me thing, Alissa is going to try scare up some more expertise on traffic analysis and mitigating that etc.) but nothing that we need to go into detail on here until we're actually getting the associated bits of work done. In summary: please keep on doing the good work you've been doing. Please also do more of that. And the IESG are ready to, and happy to, help you get that done. Cheers, Stephen/Kathleen.
