It is best to treat the Internet of Food SIG as a broad tent where various sub-SIGS, Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) flock together to work on various aspects of the SIG topic. Those BoF groups thrive and survive based on their depth and breadth of volunteer effort, and their efforts are fruitful based on their extent of stakeholder engagement. That makes the issue of relative priorities a self-governed process and does not require what can become endless, numbing, and alienating SIG level negotiations about relative priorities. Participants just get on with their work at hand.<br class=""><br class="">Sam L.<o:p class=""></o:p><br class=""><br class=""><i class=""><small class=""></small></i><i class=""><small class="">On 05/10/2015 10:48 PM, Satish Babu wrote:<br class=""></small></i></div><blockquote cite="mid:CAA8UJvA6GcsheMmwaiFfk4qSWc9f95SnC7rzV21kisJs6Liiig@mail.gmail.com" type="cite" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><i class=""><small class="">I welcome the Internet of Food SIG.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class=""></small></i></div><i class=""><small class="">What are likely to be the activities under the SIG?
