Isn't it a bit premature to be wordsmithing the definition of
a TA? IMO that's something we can do after the BoF, after we
get a charter and when we have a protocol spec at WG last call.
(FWIW, I wouldn't personally object much to any of the offered
definitions and would probably quibble with any of them.)
We might be better off keeping the discussion a bit more open/
abstract at this stage,
I don't agree - if we've got (as has been demonstrated) different ideas
of what a TA is (or should be) in this context, then we're going to be
at cross-purposes trying to put together a charter, never mind a
protocol spec.
It's like saying "transportation maintenance", when I'm thinking about
getting my soles re-soled, and you've got 737 ailerons in mind.
cheers!
