Hamid,
This is what I suspected One of the main objectives of writing
a charter and having a WG is to develop the requirements and
the solutions in a collective and open environment. That is what
I would expect if the work is to be endorsed by the IETF industry.
However, if the deliverables of SLS are not going to be developed
in an open and collective environment through this WG, we would be
wasting our time in the IETF.

Abdallah
