I have a required meeting that conflicts.  Next time I'll put Transport
WG in the calendar so this doesn't happen.

Well, I would be disappointed, but I'm already kind of disappointed :-).
 There are many cool things happening in transport.  I would like to see
some kind of group that actively pushed the capabilities of Internet2 in
various ways.  We could broaden the charter of the group to include
everything from algorithms to Globus to FileSender.  But it would
require not just researchers but people who have skin in the game, who
actually feel pain when Internet2 plus the ecosystem deliver crappy goodput.
