Apologies in advance for the cross-posting.
We are getting a lot of BoF requests in the int-area. That's not a bad thing, but in order to better manage them we would like to enforce the following deadlines for the next IETF meeting:
Jan 20 - Creation of a public mailing list for discussion of the BoF topic at hand. Please include Margaret and I on this list so that we can monitor the discussion.
Feb 3 - Formal request to the ietf-secretary and ADs, cc'd to the public mailing list, for the BoF itself. Included in the request should be a draft BoF Agenda, if the goal is the formation of a WG a draft charter, and a pointer to at least one Internet Draft as reference material for the BoF itself. Also, please take a look at Thomas' document on how to run a successful BoF. This is a brand new document, and Thomas is asking for review and discussion (which you can do on the int-area, iab, iesg or ietf list as you like) and volunteers to help iterate on the text and ready it for publication.

Should we make int-chairs a member of int-area and clean-up duplicates (making int-chairs a forced subset of int-area)? _______________________________________________ Int-area mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area
