Speaking as RTGWG chair:

Robert - I don’t think we’d have enough time to accommodate a good discussion 
during IETF114 (we got only 1 slot), however would be happy to provide a 
platform for an interim.
The topic is important and personally (being a very large BGP-LS user) I’d like 
to see it progressing.

Cheers,
Jeff
