In the last few ppvpn WG sessions, several people were turned away for lack of time, a couple tried to make presentations after the time slot was over, and so on. Fundamentally, there is still a lot of work (finishing up on existing drafts, new drafts, and discussions galore). We need another session. We have before us two approaches: - have two ppvpn WG sessions - split the WG into two focus areas (L2VPNs and L3VPNs), each with its own session and WG chairs It's a large effort, and Marco and Rick have done well to progress it. But this is a management issue. If you believe that there is no easy split down the ppvpn group along the lines of L2 and L3, then it makes more sense to have 2 sessions. If you believe that there is a logical split of the existing WG, then the more reasonable "throw bandwidth at the problem" solution is to have 2 WGs. I think there is enough work and a reasonable split of the ppvpn effort that having two focus areas is the better approach. Can we reorganize our thoughts around solving the management issue instead of whether Rick or Marco did a good job with ppvpn? What do we lose or gain with either of the two suggestions above? Thanks. -Vach
