Documents I would like to see

Hi,

Documents I would like to see and work I think
should be done within IETF at this stage:

- BCP/Informational on Client Proxy Communication
        (if WPAD is moving on, that may be a Standard)
        How to find a Proxy
        What is in current use
        
- Informational document on Inter Cache Communication
        What is in current use
        Protocol listing and short description
        ICP, HTCP, WCCP, CARP, possibly HTTP/1.1, ICP extensions

- BCP/Informational on Operational Requirements
        Stand alone caches
        Cache interconnections
        Transparency

Is there agreement on something like this being useful/neccessary for the
community? I heard strong consensus on client-cache protocol/communication
being a first step. The other proposed docs would serve as a baseline, and help
us see what needs to be done in this area.

Are there anyone else willing to write some of this?
Is there a need to meet at the Orlando IETF?

Ingrid
