Hi All-

The chairs are now finalizing the re-charter proposal with the ADs and Bert gave us the go-ahead to get started on the Objectives draft.  We are looking for volunteers (by Wednesday, 9/29) for editor of the CAPWAP Objectives draft.  This draft is a requirements draft for the CAPWAP protocol and will define requirements in the form of Objectives, as was discussed and agreed upon during the last IETF meeting:

Define a set of Objectives based on the architecture taxonomy work that lists the requirements for an interoperable CAPWAP protocol. This document will:
	a. Address the problems stated in the CAPWAP Problem statement draft  
	b. Describe each objective, its benefit to the protocol and how it satisfies the problem statement.
	c. Prioritize and classify the objectives into 3 categories:
		i.   Mandatory and Accepted 
		ii.  Desirable
		iii. Rejected
	d. Undergo review in IEEE as needed.

A risk in developing protocols by the "requirements"  approach is this phase tends to drag out and stalemate occurs.  In order to prevent this, we will impose a hard limit on the protocol requirements phase.  Bert has suggested that if we can't meet this hard deadline, the WG will close.

With this in mind, the Objective draft editor will need to meet the following deadlines.
	- first draft submitted by IETF 61.
	- Submission of the Objectives draft to IESG by Apr/May 2005.  (To be finalized in the Charter)

If you do volunteer, please make sure you are availiable and willing to put in the time required to meet these dates.   Please volunteer by Wednesday, 9/29, so we can get started on this draft quickly.  

Thanks,
Dorothy and Mani
