Folks who will be present should volunteer for the
important roles below (or I will pick *you*):

Al
bmwg co-chair

* this person can interrupt the line to read jabber comments,
and since we're meeting at a somewhat friendly time for US time
zones, I expect that there will be some remote participation.

     draft-salahuddin-bmwg-bfd-motivation-00
The BFD protocol is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to a
variety of existing methods to detect forwarding failures on links between
network elements. It is being proposed as the forwarding failure detection
mechanism for a host of routing protocols, virtual links and p2mp topologies.
It is a very useful in the situations where underlying physical media doesn't
lend itself well to fast detection of failures.

You can find extensive information on the BFD protocol itself at the 
BFD WG weblink
