Hi-

Sorin brought this up explicitly yesterday, and I hinted at it in the
last slide of the RPC/RDMA deck.

The pandemic has made it challenging to host interop events like the
NFS bake-a-thon. Currently the BAT planning team is discussing what
the rest of 2020 will look like, and none of us work for a company
that allows any travel for the foreseeable future, let alone hosting
external events.

We are beginning to consider virtual events to meet our interop needs
but that is going to require planning and probably a little financing.

Meeting the calendar date goals set in our charter is going to be
difficult without interop testing. I propose that the WG revisit those
dates, assuming that testing will get underway in the medium term but
it is not likely to happen in earnest before the end of 2020.
