I am in the honourable position of having been asked to co-chair the WG, thus you see my email in the original CC. IETF don't know anything about my bona fides, which I hope are vaguely adequate for the case. I look forward to seeing it happen and would be happy to help channel any OSM community input into the WG in a more formal way.
