Description of Working Group:

The Transport area receives occasional proposals for the development and publication of RFCs dealing with Transport topics, but for which the required work does not rise to the level where a new working group is justified, yet the topic does not fit with an existing working group, and a single BOF would not provide the time to ensure a mature proposal. The tsvwg will serve as the forum for developing these types of proposals.

The tsvwg mailing list will be used to discuss the proposals as they arise. The working group will meet if there are one or more active proposals that require discussion.

The working group milestones will be updated as needed to reflect the proposals currently being worked on and the target dates for their completion. New milestones will be first reviewed by the IESG. The working group will be on-going as long as the ADs believe it serves a useful purpose.
