Yep, you could look at the DCP web page at:
 http://www.aciri.org/kohler/dcp/
and at the four internet drafts on that page.

Yep, we agree.  The proposed charter says the following:

 Drafts for DCP, and several associated congestion control IDs, already
 exist.  The first task before the working group will be an abbreviated
 functional requirement validation of those drafts.  There are two
 possible outcomes: (1) The current DCP draft is declared suitable for
 further work, with some areas listed for possible extension.  (2) The
 current DCP draft is declared unsuitable for further work, and more
 formal functional requirement exploration begins.

The authors of the DCP documents hope that the outcome of the
BOF will be to approve the general design of DCP, as discussed in
"draft-kohler-dcp-01.txt", to have some interesting discussions
about specific requirements in terms of mobility and
security, and to get on with the work.  We shall see.

I am cc-ing this to the DCP mailing list, where the
discussion should continue...
