GSMP WG participants/listeners,

  I am seriously worried about the very low level of 
  participation, both in the face-to-face meeting(s) and 
  on the WG mailing list.

  Since I took over this WG at the IETF in March this year, I have 
  not seen enough participation of WG members/participants. 
 
  For me (and I assume for everyone who looks at the status of this
  WG) that seems to indicate:

  - There is no wide interest in the current WG charter work-items.
  - So it seems as if a few people are working in private.
  - Work has not been progressing at all according to schedule.

  I hear from WG chair(s) that people are approaching them in private
  emails about this work. Well, that is all great, but that is NOT
  how we work in IETF. We participate on the mailing list, so that 
  everyone can see each others input/comments/concerns etc.
  We also offer help to write documents and to review documents and
  to feedback to the list our findings during such review.

  Pls act and make this a real WG.

Thanks,
Bert
