Hi,

It seems remiss not to include the QUIC WG in this discussion, it likely=
 overlaps with topics in the second work area of the charter [1]:

> The second area of work is supporting the deployability of QUIC,
which includes specifications, such as specification of a logging=20
format and operation with load balancers; and informational documents=20
such as applicability and manageability statements, and more.

That's not to say that any work would have to happen in the QUIC WG. I s=
uspect there's a large population that have experience deploying and ope=
rating it that do not hang out in the Ops area and might have input to s=
hare.

Cheers
Lucas
