CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by John Veizades/Apple 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.
