On the contrary, there is much to be done, and now that the RIP nonsense
in the UK has subsided, I intend to get back to it.
Actually, another of the reasons for going quiet may be the recent flurry
of progress on the NNTP list, which many of us are also involved with.
Agenda
1. Injection-info
We discussed this many months back. I intend to write a draft.
2. Signed headers
I think we need a straw poll to decide whether to follow the proposal I
made (in which case there are some matters to resolve, like the
canonicalisation of dates), or whether to follow some other plan (there
seemed agreement that a facility of some sort is needed). After that is
done, there are cancel-locks and wording in several places to build upon
signed headers.
3. "ought"
The IETF high-ups told us not to use SHOULD or OUGHT. Do we agree to go
with "ought"? If so, the change needs to be propagated.
4. A.O.B.
I think there are some other outstanding items from the last straw poll,
but I would have to check back.
