Bruno: To complement what Stewart and Jeff already said.. 2) BoF/new WG “Options for handling new work include: - Developing a proposal for a BoF. - Developing a charter and establishing consensus for a new WG” It seems to me that so far the above work was currently performed in Routing Area plenary meetings. Note that the text you quoted talks about developing a proposal/charter, not just discussing the proposals, which is what I think happens in the rtgarea meetings. The development and preparation for those meetings happens somewhere else. One of the reasons to move some of these discussions to rtgwg is to benefit from the wide knowledge base in the WG, from more discussion and review..along with the structure of being a WG. After all we all know that the real work in the IETF happens in the WGs. ;-) We are defining a process (that will be posted in the wiki soon for everyone to review) to handle this type of work. One of the items that you will see there is the assignment of a shepherd (from the RTG Directorate) to help figure out the details of the proposals/charters. I would expect that the shepherd and the authors would do some of the work off-line and then have the WG comment/review. Similar to what happens today, but with the structure of a WG to reach consensus, etc. Do we want to move this to RTGWG? If so - I’m a bit concerned that such activities are less technically oriented, possibly political and involving many discussions and hence could delay the technical work in RTGWG. Even though we don't have any specific new work, we have already asked for additional time at the next in-person meeting. One of the challenges is to know in advance what new topics will need to be discussed so that we can ask for and allocate enough time. As we did before when discussing the energy efficiency work, for example, the intent is to allocate a specific block of time to specific discussions. We don't want these new topics to starve the existing work, or vise versa. As always, discussion on the list is very, very important for all the topics. - What’s the remaining use of the Routing Area plenary meeting? A top down summary of latest WG status? I'll let the ADs answer. Alvaro.
