    Brings to mind a space ship that flew by Earth during the violent
    formation stage and, not touching base again until the ice age... makes
    the assumption it is too cold for anything to be moving down there. They
    may be right in any case... but you have to admit... the process lends
    itself to humorous interpretation.

    IPP> IMPORTANT - Proposal to not progress the 4 remaining IPP draft
    documents and close down the IETF IPP WG - DEADLINE FOR RESPONSES April
    12, 2004

    All,

    I agree with Tom Hastings that the interest for these drafts have
    decreased
    dramatically since they were first created almost 3 years ago. I clear
    sign
    is that were have not responded to comments from our Area Director
    received
    a very long time ago.
    It also seems that there is a lack of interest to implement the features
    in
    these drafts from vendors, so who would we be writing these standards for?
    I
    think we are just spinning our wheels to no effect!

    However, before we officially ask the IETF secretariat to kill off these
    documents for good, I would like to give everybody in the WG a chance to
    comment.

    If you or your organization still have interest in pursuing the completion
    of any of these 4 draft documents, I want to hear from you on the IPP DL
    no
    later than April 12, 2004. This gives you plenty of time to think this
    over
    one more time.

    If we decide to drop these documents is also means that we can drop the
    IPP
    WG as an active IETF WG. As stated, the IPP DL will still remain in place
    for discussion of the RFCs that have made it to Proposed Standards or
    Informational earlier in the WG life cycle.

    If we don't hear from you before the deadline, it will be interpreted as
    if
    you agree to close down any further work in the WG.
