Technical Coordinators and new co-chair

[Black_David@emc.com]

I'm pleased to announce the appointment of Technical
Coordinators for the protocol efforts in the IP
Storage (ips) WG:

iSCSI: John Hufferd, IBM <hufferd@us.ibm.com>
FC over IP: Murali Rajagopal, LightSand <muralir@lightsand.com>

In addition, the Transport Area Directors have appointed
a third working group co-chair:

Elizabeth Rodriguez, Lucent <egrodriguez@lucent.com>

Please join your current co-chairs and the ADs in
thanking all three of these people for volunteering their
time and effort to the WG.

Both of the technical coordinators have been asked to
begin determining the appropriate scope of WG efforts
for their respective protocols.  In particular, this means
identifying the documents that the WG needs to or should
produce in addition to the basic protocol spec in order
to make the protocol useful/successful.

The co-chairs and TCs will share the responsibility of
driving mailing list discussions to consensus.  A specific
example is that John Hufferd is now responsible for driving
the iSCSI Naming discussions to consensus and stating/calling
that consensus as appropriate.

Thanks,
--David

p.s.  If you're wondering where the announcement of the author
	team for the framework document is, it's coming shortly,
	stay tuned.
