I'm no longer convinced that there is actually any relevant work for us to do.
So, I might actually just close the group.

I'm not convinced that the people who are participating in this WG
are connected to the right operational places in ISPs.  I think that we are
all (quite experienced and smart) IoT hackers who have ideas about what the
right thing to do, but we don't actually to implement our ideas much.

It's not about passports, I think, but about attendance.
I won't volunteer as co-chair for the reason that I don't think that I'll
attend many meetings in person.
