Subject: [bfcpbis] preparations for IETF 84
Precedence: list

IETF 84 is less than  a month away. The preliminary agenda has the session =
for BFCPBIS as follows:

FRIDAY, August 3, 2012
1230-1330  Afternoon Session II
Regency A       	RAI 	bfcpbis     	Binary Floor Control Protocol Bis  WG

That's right, we are at the very end. Unfortunately, that does not buy us a=
ny extra time for the prep work. The remaining and rapidly approaching IETF=
 84 deadlines are as follows:

# 2012-06-28 (Thursday): Preliminary agenda published for comment.
# 2012-07-02 (Monday): Cutoff date for requests to reschedule Working Group=
 and BOF meetings 17:00 PT (UTC -7).
# 2012-07-02 (Monday): Working Group Chair approval for initial document (V=
ersion -00) submissions appreciated by 17:00 PT (UTC -7).
# 2012-07-06 (Friday): Final agenda to be published.
# 2012-07-09 (Monday): Internet Draft Cut-off for initial document (-00) su=
bmission by 17:00 PT (UTC -7), upload using IETF ID Submission Tool.
# 2012-07-16 (Monday): Internet Draft final submission cut-off by 17:00 PT =
(UTC -7), upload using IETF ID Submission Tool.
# 2012-07-18 (Wednesday): Draft Working Group agendas due by 17:00 PT (UTC =
-7), upload using IETF Meeting Materials Management Tool.

We do not anticipate any new (version-00) drafts. We do; however, need to h=
ave more review and comments on the existing drafts ASAP, such that these c=
omments may be addressed in updated versions that post prior to the July 16=
th deadline. The comments and corresponding resolutions, or lack thereof, w=
ill be used as input to the agenda for the working group session, which is =
due July 18.
The current versions of both drafts are available at http://tools.ietf.org/=
wg/bfcpbis/.=20

Cheers,
Charles
