The Draft Charter (see following text) contains a detailed description of the proposed working group as well as references to the mailing list and its archive. The constituency met in an ad-hoc fashion under the auspices of the SIPPING working group at IETF 62, 63 64. Minutes of those discussions are posted at: http://www.softarmor.com/sipping/meets/ietf62/notes/notes-dwillis- p2padhoc-sipping-62.html http://www.softarmor.com/sipping/meets/ietf63/notes/p2p-ad-hoc- sipping-ietf63.txt http://www.softarmor.com/sipping/meets/ietf64/notes/minutes-p2p- sipping-ietf64.txt Historically, the level of interest in this work gas been very high, with more than 50 people attending the ad-hoc sessions despite their unusual scheduling. There are existing drafts for use cases, requirements, and two different solution approaches in the IETF depository at the time of this request. Some of these documents have been revised several times and are beginning to mature. The most significant challenge the constituency has faced is narrowing its focus to a scope that is manageable in an IETF working group. We believe the following draft charter addresses that focus and has strong consensus in the community.
