Dear all

As main editor of the survey draft proposed in the ICNRG charter, I send you my opinion about the future of this group working item. I would have come to this issue in the Saturday's meeting, but since I cannot attend, I'm raising again the issue of the survey draft in the mailing list. 

As we all know, this draft is stall for a long time, due, IMO, to the fact that we do not see how it really fits the ICNRG agenda, which is general terms is being pursuit, and well, by the challenges and scenarios draft. As I mentioned before, those two draft seem to me enough to lay down a basic understanding about the propose of ICNRG. I tried to re-direct the survey draft to a more long term vision on ICN, but this seems not to be interesting to the current agenda of ICNRG, which is paying now more attention, and well, to more specific contributions, such as the IoT and the video stuff.

So, my suggestion to the Paris meeting is to close, once and for all, the idea of producing a survey draft, which is more and more out of focus in relation to the way the ICNRG work is evolving.

Although I'll not be in the ICNRG meeting, I'll in in Paris for the ICN2014 (until Thursday evening), and I'm available to talk a little more about this, if needed.
