[opsarea-chairs] Fwd: Fwd: [OPSAWG] On the use of meeting time

Resending to the correct ops chair mailer, opsarea-chairs@ietf.org, 
which I just updated with all the OPS chairs (from 
http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/)
I also requested to shut down ops-chairs@ietf.org

Regards, Benoit

We've been getting a lot of requests for time on the agenda for
the upcoming meeting to "present" drafts which haven't been
discussed on the mailing list.  This is a reminder that the purpose
of meetings is face-to-face discussion of issues that haven't
been able to make progress on the mailing list, and to progress
deliverables.  The IETF is somewhat different from other standards
bodies in that meeting time is generally not used for presentation
of new material, and that the work of the organization is primarily
done via working group mailing lists.  The most reliable way to
get time on a meeting agenda is to have a lively discussion on
the mailing list prior to the meeting.

Thanks,

Melinda
