This document is just an attempt to have a high level view of the
problem space. This document has no official standing at all (nor will
it ever). It will be used to gauge interest in what problems people are
interested in solving right now. There was no such understanding (of
what to do) achieved in Vancouver. The other problem statement drafts
(including yours) will be the ones that will define the precise problems
to be solved.

Agree. But do you see anything in the draft that suggests doing so?

This draft was not designed to be a detailed problem statement. I would
like the other problem statement drafts to cover the details. Other than
the details, do you agree that the problems listed in this document
cover the problem space?

Jari has offered us a room to meet in Philly. I would really love to see
  some solution drafts.

Thanks
