Splendid idea!
By Thursday, we should have a somewhat clearer idea of what we want to do.

Oh, there will be no technical presentation at this point.
These 10 minutes would be about alerting the security community about this activity.
(See my ROLL slides from Vancouver -- http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/84/slides/slides-84-roll-11.pdf)

What we want to do first is 
a) collecting more fleshed out approaches, documenting how precisely they work, and
b) identifying gaps in the existing standards, if any.

If we are successful in getting structure into this, then there might be
1) "system standards" that explain how to tie things together, as well as 
2) potentially point activities addressing these gaps (but these will not be "SOLACE").
