Re: [Eligibility-discuss] Virtual BoF for draft-moonesamy-recall-rev

HI SM,
  First of all, let me state that I am supportive of a proposal for a virtual BoF that covers the topics you mentioned. I have gone over the proposal and I think it needs to be refined further. In my mind, a virtual BoF proposal needs to have the same amount of thinking put into the problem statement, the deliverables, the questions to be answered as a in-person BoF proposal in order to be successful. i.e. As an AD I would expect the virtual BoF proposal to receive the same level of scrutiny as an in-person BoF proposal. 

The problem statement in your mail concerning the virtual BoF, IMHO, does not fully cover the intent of the draft. e.g. It does not talk about why you are reducing the number of signatories. I think some text is required in this regard. 

I would like the virtual BoF to clarify the following aspects

1) Does the community believe there is a problem to solve?
2) Which of the change proposals does the community support. I think some of the proposals in your draft are fairly non-controversial (e.g. reducing the number of signatories) while the others (e.g. Allowing I* to do so) might be more controversial.
3) What are the deliverables you expect to have?
4) How much support and energy is there in the community to make this change?

Also, mention whether you would like this to be a working group forming BoF or not. One other suggestion I would make is to put the virtual BoF request into 

https://trac.tools.ietf.org/bof/trac/ <https://trac.tools.ietf.org/bof/trac/>

So that it can be considered along with the other BoF proposals when the IESG and IAB meet to consider the proposals for the Montreal IETF on June 11.

Thanks
Suresh
