[ietf-enroll] Future of this WG

[Paul Hoffman]

Greetings again. There is clearly interest in this topic, but 
possibly not enough to sustain an IETF Working Group. We have tried a 
few times to revive interest on the mailing list, but it keeps 
falling flat.

To be clear: there is interest in the topic. A few folks have written 
early drafts, but there is little or no convergence on definitions, 
use cases, and how this work would affect IETF protocols.

Given that, maybe we should request to shut down the WG, and allow 
the work that folks want to do to be done as individual submissions. 
(For those who aren't that familiar with the IETF, it is quite 
possible to get an RFC published without it going through a Working 
Group; see <http://www.ietf.org/tao.html> for a longer explanation.)

Does this sound reasonable? If not, I'm definitely open to hearing 
plans for vitalization. Feel free to comment off-list if you don't 
want to say things on-list.
