Let me follow up Harald's comment with a note about the IRTF.  Abel
Weinrib is the chair of the IRTF and is very open to suggestions for
new WGs in that context that want to explore more open ended
questions.  In fact there were 2 WGs formed last year on related
topics.  The one I chair is on an Internet Information Architecture.
It is a closed group at present, but one of our threads of discussion
is about how to open up the process to a wider community.  I will
certainly report further on that as we make progress.

The other group is chaired by Cecilia Preston and my recollection is
that the focus of that is metadata.  I have no idea about the nature
of their work.

But, let me urge you, if you would like to form a group to work on
something related to IETF activities, but more open-ended, to talk
with Abel about it.  I also recommend to you the recent RFC 2014 on
the subject of the IRTF.
