Melinda,
OK. It is hard to not enter solution space.
PROBLEM: The IETF process to reach PS cannot support time-to-market
requirements.
[The current wording we have is good but this can be sub bullet under it
as direct problem we could try to fix later in the solution space]
PROBLEM: The IETF process to complete specifications puts to many
features in those initial specifications. [This would be sub bullet
again above].
These are problems in the IETF per this mail list.
Thanks
