All,

After reviewing the protocol submissions it appears that
each of the proposals has valuable features that merit
inclusion in the ForCES protocol.

Patrick and I would like to urge the various authors to
evaluate whether a merger of the protocols, selecting the
best features of each, would be possible. 

In order to expedite this process we are considering holding
and interim working group meeting two weeks prior to the 
next IETF where interested parties could meet for a day to
focus on producing a "best of all worlds" proposal.

Please contact Patrick or I if you would be interested in
attending such a meeting.

Thanks,
David & Patrick
co-chairs, IETF ForCES Working Group
