IETF is hosting a large-scale interim meeting in Malta, Jan 22-22 2009.
Do we want to have an interim meeting? The AD's assumption is "yes",
so please reply if you think otherwise.

Subject: WG Interim Meeting Opportunity in January 2009
In our continuing effort to ensure that IETF WGs are getting enough
meeting time to progress their work, we are conducting another
experiment.
Many WGs have found interim meetings an effective way to tackle thorny
technical issues, resolve contentious technical issues, accelerate
standards development, and provide traction for new work. As
always, an
interim WG meeting is not a substitute for a regular session at the
traditional IETF meeting. Since some WG Chairs and ADs have found the
amount of time necessary to put together an interim meeting can be
excessive, we are trying to reduce the effort necessary to conduct an
interim meeting to determine whether reducing this burden will
expedite
IETF standards development. To this end, the Secretariat will
facilitate
a large interim meeting from 20-22 January 2009 in Malta. If you are
interested in participating in this experiment, please contact your
Area
Director for approval. All face-to-face interim meetings require AD
approval, and this is no exception. The IETF Secretariat is putting
together a program with three full days and four tracks on each
day. Each
WG interim meeting is expected to consume at least one full day on
one of
the tracks.
ADs will schedule the sessions. A URL for the schedule will be
announced
shortly. Once it is available, if you detect a scheduling conflict,
please raise the concern with your AD for resolution. Session time is
limited, and sessions will be allocated first come, first served.
The Secretariat will provide registration, food and beverage, audio
visual facilities, and on site registration support. VeriLAN will
provide
network and audio streaming support. It is expected that the
meeting fee
will be $375 for early registration and $475 for late registration.
The Internet Society is looking for meeting sponsors for this event.
Anyone interested please contact Drew Dvorshak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
