Subject: [midcom] Protocol selection process

Ever optimistic, I'd like to try for getting a protcol
selected by the end of December.  We've already eliminated
one candidate, and I'd like to eliminate at least one more,
preferably two, before moving directly into selection.  The
evaluation document does an excellent job of comparing the
protocols against the requirements and framework, but there
may be intangibles (or nearly tangibles) to be considered as
well, such as whether or not the protocol has been deployed
and whether or not it's been deployed in the types of
devices we anticipate being of interest to midcom.  We also
need to identify showstoppers - things that might make a
given protocol impossible to deploy.

So, the job at hand is to eliminate another protocol from
consideration. 

It may be the case that we ultimately find that none of
these protocols is suitable, but the default position is
that at least one of them is - the onus would be on us to
demonstrate definitively otherwise.
