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

Hi Bob,
 
I would definitely be very interested in this BoF.

	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
