[Netrqmts] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-daley-meeting-network-requirements-00.txt

[Jay Daley <[e-mail]>]

Following on from various discussions about the IETF Network provided at IETF meetings, I have put together an I-D that aims to initiate a conversation on finding a way forward.  From the introduction:

> The network that IETF participants use at an IETF Meeting has been a
> high-profile feature of IETF Meetings for some time and is now a
> major part of the behind-the-scenes work and cost of running an IETF
> Meeting. This network replaces any venue network using equipment
> donated by suppliers, installed and managed by a mixed team of
> volunteers and contractors.
> 
> There are disagreements within the community about the requirements
> for this network, how it is delivered and whether or not the current
> cost and effort of providing the network is reasonable.
> 
> The IETF Administration LLC (IETF LLC) has overall responsibility for
> delivering IETF Meetings to meet community-set requirements including
> managing the meeting costs and service provision. However, the IETF
> LLC is unclear on what the path is to resolve these disagreements.
> This is important because they get to the heart of the requirements
> for the IETF Network and the resulting provision of that network.
> The main area of uncertainty is whether this is a community matter
> that requires a community-led process to determine an outcome such as
> an RFC, or this is for the IETF LLC to lead on and make decisions
> through its normal consultative processes.
> 
> This document aims to initiate a conversation to clarify the way
> forward. To do this, it provides a full primer on the facts needed
> to understand the current situation and the areas of disagreement.
> This includes It sets out the current high-level requirements for the
> IETF Network, an overview of how the IETF Network is delivered, how
> this relates back to the requirements and where the areas of
> disagreement are.

Details of the I-D below.
