Greetings... Sam has asked me to chair the SPKM BOF at IETF 67. The main purpose of a BOF is normally to determine whether there is sufficient interest within the IETF to form a working group to address a particular problem, and to come to some agreement on the scope and goals of that work. Not all BOF's result in the formation of working groups -- sometimes there is not sufficient interest or there is no consensus on how to proceed -- but even in these cases, the BOF serves its purpose. In order to achieve that purpose, the majority of time in a BOF is spent on presentations of the problem to be solved, followed by any existing work or proposed approaches, followed by discussion of how to proceed. Sometimes these discussions are highly contentions; other times they are quite straightforward. However, in general they are focused not on the design details, but on higher-level issues such as - whether the proposed work is appropriate for the IETF - whether it is a useful application of the IETF's resources - whether there is interest in pursuing the work - whether the work should focus on a specific solution, or select from among multiple alternatives, or work on more than one approach - in what ways the work should be constrained We need to focus first on that discussion, because that is what will be needed for the AD's and the IESG to decide whether there is sufficient support to form a working group. However, this will be a fairly long meeting slot, so it is possible there will be time left at the end which can be used for more detailed technical discussion. I've posted a preliminary agenda on the IETF web site, at <http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/06nov/agenda/spkm.txt> Comments are welcome, of course. I expect most of the interest will be focused on Andy's draft. However, in the interest of producing the best possible result, there is time in the agenda to hear other proposals. Anyone wanting to make such a proposal should be prepared to give a presentation during the BOF; please contact me by November 1 so I can put you on the agenda. Note that the time for alternate proposals is now, not later -- if there do not appear to be any serious proposals at the time of the BOF, it is unlikely that the charter of any resulting WG would include investigating alternate approaches. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ SPKM mailing list SPKM@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/spkm
