Folks,

from the silence on the list and the lack of any response, I would 
conclude that there is *no* interest in moving forward with actually 
defining a OCP/SMTP profile.

If this conclusion is wrong and there is interest in moving forward, 
please indicate your willingness to lead the protocol work and 
co-author a draft *now*.

If there are no volunteers, I'll ask that the milestone and 
deliverable get removed from our charter. Given that we also don't 
make any progress on the rules language, I would then ask the AD/IESG 
to close the WG.

Thanks,
   Markus
