To that end, and to put our 90 minutes on Friday afternoon in London to best use, I will ask for at least three people to present their views in 10-minute presentations at the meeting. However, in order to cause this to not be the normal IETF "let's wait for the meeting" game, the presentations need to be done by next Monday, Feb. 24. That gives people on the list a preview of what will be said, time to argue about it, and time for the presenters to hone their slides if they want.
