Hi Tony,
With my AD hat on:

Folks, the time has come to start deciding what to do with the YAM
working group. I've been discussing this with my co-chair and our AD,
and I see several ways forward:
1) stay on hold -- keep the group in hiatus for another X months
a) we would need to decide on what X is
I am very uncomfortable with letting this WG stay on hold for an
extended period of time.
I think it is my duty as the outgoing AD to get rid of dead wood and
simplify life for my successor.
2) restart work as originally chartered. This means going back and
picking up where we left off on 5321bis, 5322bis and 4409bis.
I suppose the WG can do that, but my personal opinion is that the
process experiment has failed. IESG is not actually as much of a problem
as people think it is, and I believe this is going to stay the same
after March 2011.
3) shut down
4) recharter (see below)
These are my two preferred choices. Details of the new charter don't
matter to me that much, as long as the process experiment part is removed.
My personal (not-as-an-AD) preferences are to do some combination of B)
and C).
There are several ways we could recharter.
A) We could eliminate or modify the "process experiment" we've been
using (where we publish an I-D that indicates what needs to
change, get IESG approval, and *then* proceed with revising the
RFC).
B) We could review the documents that were in the original YAM
charter. For any that we feel need to be revved no matter what
(for example, 3798 MDN (one of my documents) is in this list),
we can proceed with revising them.
C) We start taking a look at the Proposed Standard mail-related
standards and see what they need to moved forward to the next
status.
D) Do something else.
E) Any combination of the above.
Please provide your input. We have exactly one month to come to a
consensus, after which it will be too late to schedule a meeting in
Prague (should we decide we need one).

YAM co-chair

Alexey
