Draft:
I'd like to thank the volunteers for drafting this. I believe it is a good start, but not yet good enough - and while indeed polishing might be too much, let's take the time to apply emery paper.
The Internet of Things working group will work on the areas of: - what role do service providers want to play - what role can service providers play
[the session was about security, so what was implicit could be made a bit more explicit here]
- what do we need from manufacturers
Really, after enjoying the discussion in a room full of (mostly, no offense) engineers in a state of mutually assured perplexity (fair enough) and thus singing "regulation" in a choir, this
- engaging with governments and regulators
gives me grief and dispair. We, RIPE, already have a WG explicitly aimed at interaction with this sphere and so not only should the overlap be seriously clarified, it is also unclear to me how a WG would literally "engag[e] with governments and regulators".
- recommendations for vendors, service providers, end users and relevant stakeholders
On the - useful, IMHO - vendor/manufacturer split, I'd like to see an emphasis on bringing together from different communities, given there's little "I" in IoT. -Peter
