Re: [re-ECN] Pls respond: Do we have a Congestion Exposure community?

Bob et al,

Yes, I am certainly interested in this topic and want to see it progress
further. I had sent comments on earlier drafts of this doc and will help
contribute to future work.

Subject: [re-ECN] Pls respond: Do we have a Congestion Exposure
community?

Folks,

I'd like to try to arrange a Congestion Exposure (re-ECN) BoF in Nov 
at the Hiroshima IETF. If so, we have to notify the area directors v 
soon - by 24:00 UTC Mon 7 Sep 09. #1 gating function for Area 
Directors: activity on an ietf list.

Therefore, pls respond preferably *on this list* if you're interested 
in being involved, no matter how insignificantly, e.g.

- you want congestion visibility for other stuff you're doing
   (but don't intend to work on it itself)
- reviewing docs,
- alternative way to achieve congestion exposure
- participate in mailing list discussion,
- co-authoring docs
- design ways to do incremental deployment
- using code for other stuff you're doing
- thinking up new uses for the protocol
- breaking it
- analysing benefits/costs
- implement protocol
- implement a demo
- running or participating in trials
- standing on the sidelines booing or clapping
- whatever

Perceived problem:
Most people want to work on something finite like a new cool 
non-TCP-friendly congestion control. Less people want to go into an 
pseudo-infinite loop fixing IP to allow other cool stuff to happen. 
If you want something like re-ECN to be there, but don't have the 
bandwidth to work on it, that's cool too - please say this - it's 
still palpable support. And you will be likely to have review 
comments related to how you want to use it.

Cheers

Bob
