Eric,

I think the purpose of this group is to discuss and explore ways of providing IP QoS for VoIP networks, and to evaluate applicable existing technology as well as provide feedback for emerging technology.

I don't quite understand why we need a managed membership committee to run this -- particularly the managed membership part is what I find troubling. What benefit are you providing?

Personally, I find this difficult to define, because you are obviously not the premier forum for IP related issues (the IETF is). Please explain.

So, if you're affiliated with the IETF, why don't you participate in our working group rather than we move our IP network related issues into T1?

And, was it really neccessary to carbon copy over half a dozen mailing lists on this subject matter?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Chris
