Exactly.

I think the current plan is to discuss (2) during TANA, but that  
doesn't necessarily mean that any follow-up will need to only happen  
in whatever comes out of the TANA BOF.

Yup. Scheduling this will be a mess. The secretariat is currently  
working out things.

Ideally, we'd schedule TSVAREA first, because it has an overview talk  
by Stas on how BitTorrent transports data, which not everyone in the  
IETF community is very familiar with, and which could provide some  
background knowledge to the wider community before they go off to  
participate in TANA and ALTO. Those two BOFs obviously MUST NOT  
conflict.
