[Chapter-delegates] Welcome Internet of Food Special Interest Group

[Sam Lanfranco]

I would like to take Satish’s query about relative priorities as an 
opportunity to share lessons learned from similar past undertakings over 
the past 35 years. 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.
