[iot-discussion] another step towards the IoT WG
I have volunteered to serve as an initial co-chair of the WG-to-be. There was strong consensus for this at the plenary session yesterday. Assuming tomorrow's plenary endorses that decision, the first thing to do is to get the WG to reach consensus on a co-chair selection process. Once that's in place, we'll use the process to appoint co-chairs. My preference would be to get the selection process decided before we discuss potential candidates and ask for volunteers. Best not entangle these things. A few people have expressed interest in becoming a co-chair and some of them thought I'd make the decision. I won't. The WG will decide that using whatever selection process we agree. There will be a public announcement in due course inviting people to volunteer/nominate candidates. We should also discuss the requirements and responsibilities for the IoT WG's co-chairs. That may need some clarification before we use the selection process once we have one. My personal opinion is co-chairs might need to engage with SDOs, industry fora and participate in IoT-related workshops like that ENISA/Europol thing last week. However this will be something for the WG to decide.
