   I commend Bob on what he's written. It's good, even if a bit long...

   For the last three items:
] 
] TBA: Vision. Relax transport constraints. Congestion != impairment.

   Don't bother.

] TBA: Proposed working group deliverables

   Hmm... There needs to be a specific document defining usage of bits
in an IP header. It needs to be either Experimental or Proposed Standard,
and we need to say which.

   There needs to be a document (quite possibly the same one) saying
what Congestion-Exposure-aware routers may do with these bits; and
what we expect of non-Congestion-Exposure-aware routers to NOT do.

   I'm not certain what we need beyond those, though we will need
Security Considerations somewhere.

   I expect we're looking for Experimental status; and that suggests
three deliverables: one stating usage of bits, one evaluating the
results of the experiment, and one detailing Security issues.

   I don't thing we need to list more deliverables than that in a
BoF request.

] TBA: Proposed BoF Agenda.

   Copy most anyone else's. ;^)
