[6lowapp] End of vacation period... BOF request deadline coming up

[Carsten Bormann <[e-mail]>]

The timing of the summer IETF is somewhat unfortunate, since at least  
the European participants fall into the great holiday void of August  
immediately afterward.
This is my first day back in the office, so I'd like to welcome the  
now 51 members of the mailing list.

We already have a target date coming up close: Today is the deadline  
for submitting BOF requests for IETF 76 (Hiroshima).
I have no idea who put this important date on the Canadian/US Labor  
Day, but that's the way it is.
I think we are in reasonable shape with an existing problem statement  
draft and some structure on the Wiki, but the actual BOF request has  
to be written today.

I'll send a proposal for a BOF request later today, then we have a  
couple of hours to discuss it before we have to hand it in.
I don't think it makes sense to try to attach a charter proposal to  
that BOF request -- the main result of *the BOF* should be the  
structure of the work.
The AD has to approve (or not) the BOF proposal next Monday (Sep 14),  
so we'll be to change some details in that process.
(And then we have two months to do the actual work leading to a good  
BOF.)

Stay tuned for later today...

Gruesse, Carsten
