I have an idea for one heck of a talk.

"Beating the Bloat"

Unfortunately there's too much on my mind (still) to come up with
a summary of everything I could talk about in an hour.

But I'd go into the history of this project...

the amazing volunteer-ism, the structural and funding problems, the failures, the successes, and where we'd
like to go from here. In the proposed title above I'm referring to "Bloat" in a more general sense, of the enormous disconnects and latencies between academia, government, industry, the ietf, the open source communities, etc...

I know how passionately I feel about everything that happened and continues to happen, and how I'd like
to structure things so that in the future we can better respond to potential internet emergencies.

I have some fire in my belly on this (if, at the moment, ENOENERGY)

I have to sit down and write up a lot of the last 16 months anyway, just to get it out of my mind.

But first up would be structuring what people outside the project would "get", and truly "hear".

As I've relied on you all as a wonderful set of brain amplifiers, I'm interested both in what you'd like
to hear, and in what this audience could 'hear', as I write up an outline and a summary for submittal
before friday's deadline.
