Yes, indeed.
I do not want to be over dramatic but the discussion on the original "Group
Based Policy and the way forward" thread is nothing short of heartbreaking.
After months and months of discussions, three presentations at the past
three summits, a design session at the last summit, and (most relevant to
this thread) the approval of the spec, why are we talking about the merits
of the work now?

I understand if people think this is not a good idea or this is not a good
time. What I do not understand is why these concerns were not raised
clearly and openly earlier.

Best,

Mohammad

Just want to be super clear: there is no 'blaming' here. This is a
request to regroup and look at why we are having this conversation about
GBP now, this late in cycle, and about such fundamental topics (the
choice of 'endpoint' as name is only one of them), after in-person
conversations over more than one release cycle and summits.

I am available for the meeting on Monday, Kyle.

In order to prepare for the meeting we should agree on the scope of the
root cause analysis. I think the problem should be framed around the
message Mark McClain sent, especially the "Why this email" which I quote
below:

I think the fact that this very fair question has been raised so late is
the problem we need to find the cause for. Would you agree?

We'll use time during the meeting on Monday to use a simple technique to
investigate this deeply, no need to spend time now and via email.
