SVRLOC Minutes

The Service Location Protocol group came to a consensus that the work
that was being done was of the Working Group direction and that the
group should convene as a Working Group and not as a BOF.

Work is being done on the same type of protocols in the IRTF by Michael
Schwartz.  John Veizades said he would pursue understanding how that
work could be leveraged by the group.

An overview of the result of the Boulder BOF was presented.

The group brainstormed on ideas that might solve some of the problems
that were represented and came to the conclusion that there is a gap
between the services provided by directory services and the type of
protocols that were discussed at this meeting.

As a statement of architectural direction is needed by the group, Leo
McGlaughlin, Steve Waldbusser and John Veizades will meet before the
next meeting to try to firm the Charter up and come to some terms with
the architectural direction.
