    As we are approaching our next meeting, we need to settle
    on the possible agenda items. Please send me the items you'd
    like to discuss at the WG meeting asap (within a week).

Yakov-

An issue recently surface in discussion among some of the larger providers
about the use of local-pref and how it would be Real Nice if were something
very similar to local-pref but which is not propagated through IBGP, i.e.
it is only used to affect the next-hop decision for the router which receives
it. Through a variety of crude approaches, local-pref can sort of be shoehorned
into doing this but it isn't really the right tool. A few minutes on the agenda
to discuss this particular issue would be nice (and no, I don't have an
internet draft nor do I think I'm ready to give a presentation about this,
but perhaps we can figure something out...)
