Here are three topics that it would be useful to discuss:

- As part of pruning the iSCSI spec down to what's been implemented
	(in order to go for draft standard), what comes out?  My
	list starts with Markers (use iSER/RDDP[iWARP] instead)
	and SPKM authentication.

- What's important/useful about new features from SAM-4.  I know
	that there's interest in the new task management operations,
	but what else?  Anything added here needs a new text key to
	negotiate it.

- Details on the minor fixes to iSER and MPA.  People have sent
	me private mail about these - please send to this list.

I'm about to vanish for vacation for two weeks (no email).
I'll be back on Feb 26th.

For now, I'm inclined to continue using the [email protected] and
[email protected] lists for STORM work rather than create a new
list, but this can be changed.

Thanks,
