I have stated that nothing that has not be published as a draft will be
discussed at the meeting in Chicago. Perhaps we should extend this to
include this list as well..
We are very much going around in circles with this authentication argument
and making little progress. In the meantime other parts of the draft are
making little progress.
I am sending in a draft for Cancel-Locks right now which I will later
forward to this list. I am also hoping to get a 3rd-party draft out as
well.
I would suggest that people who wish to have material and ideas discussed
must write and submit an Internet draft. There is approx a one week
deadline to get these in in time for the meeting in Chicago.
Simon.
