Hi all,
The discussion on the list so far has been good and I don't want to disrupt that by moving the focus to process nor by trying to rush things if more time is what's needed. However, if there is a desire for a (non-wg-forming, he reiterated:-) BoF in Paris, then you need to start to think about what such a meeting might aim to achieve, and I'd like to see the list (attempting to) make progress towards whatever those goals might be. Generically, the possible goals of such a meeting might be to figure out if there's work here that's relevant to the IETF, if that work is sufficiently mature, if there's a feeling that some well-scoped parts of that work could be chartered in future or might fit in some existing working group's charter, if there is sufficient energy behind the work that it'd likely carry through to produce results, etc, etc. It'd also help if there were some Internet-drafts for the IETF community to read, since that's what we're used to reading, are more liable to notice and to which more attention is likely to be paid. So, those of you that would like such a meeting, please try get things moving in that direction. If you think such a meeting would be counterproductive or premature then say that too, but please do say why. BoF proposals need to be made before Feb 13 and will be decided on a couple of weeks later, so there's about three weeks or so to get things in good enough shape to warrant having a meeting. Thanks, Stephen. PS: There are probably some on this list for whom all this process stuff is new. RFC 5434 may help, although that is more focused on BoF's that do aim to form a WG and we're not there at this point. _______________________________________________ therightkey mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/therightkey
