Agreed. The NAREGI team have already posted a request to contribute and 
Intel/Fujistu would also like to present. I think we are looking at 10 
minute slots.

I would agree with Ian here based on our agreement at the Washington 
F2F. There we agreed the our ptofiles would be consistent with the 
architecture. I believe this should also apply to these spawned WGs. 
Technically however, the forming WG could charter its self to be 
constrained to the current EMS model. I would prefer that charter 
support the same "invariant" model we use for profiles. This would 
allow the EMS model to be modified in light of lessons learned in the 
new WG.

Yes this will be required by our ADs as part of avoiding overlap with 
other existing work, e.g. DRAMMA.
