Hi, My personal assessment is in favor of 1/ Move WGs (back) to permanent areas and close the area ...primarily because I think that both the general IETF work (as represented by the WGs in the permanent Areas) *and* the work of the transplanted SUB-IP WGs would benefit...and those gains

Bert, The explanation helps. Most of my comments were in hindsight and I didn't intend to cast any blame on you (or Scott) for being surprised. And, given the situation in which you found yourselves, and the IESG generally, after Atlanta, I think the way this is being handled is probably among

(i) I don't like these sorts of surprises that leave little time to think about an important issue. none of us do. which is why all the folk who are involved in the sub-ip area have been discussing this for a while, culminating in a general discussion in the sub-ip area meeting in atlanta.

We found out at the meeting that the vast majority wanted to keep the area. But to say the least... I was suprised. This doesn't surprise me. Nearly every working group wishes to perpetuate itself indefinitely, long after its charter goals have been met (and often grossly exceeded). People

Option 2 grows the IESG by 1 to 2 ADs. I concur with sediments that this will likely make the IESG less effective, hence I oppose option 2. And as Option 3 has a high chance of becoming option 1 (become temporary things have a tendency to become permanent), I dislike it as well. I favor option

I'm in favor of 1/ 3/, again, seems contradictory. The status quo is that it disappears. Continuing it without a fixed end date is to subversively result in 2/ without a clear charter definition and Nomcom participation. To be specific, I don't think 3/ should be on the table, at least not
