All,

Can some folks respond on whether they think it is right to hold a BoF 
on this topic in Berlin.

Back in Jul 2015, when we had the first ad hoc meeting about evolving 
DCTCP (the one where Matt Mathis suggested we call it TCP Prague), there 
was a huge amount of energy and excitement in the room.

However, I've noticed that the discussion on this list seems to move in 
fits and starts.
Can anyone suggest why?

I see much more discussion off-list about building projects, around the 
enabling idea of the dualQ.
Perhaps it's just that it takes a long time for some people to be able 
to to shift the focus of their work.

If that's so, then I guess it is still worth the core proponents 
pressing ahead.
Because others only need to influence the direction of travel of a 
project if it is moving!

Thoughts?


Bob

PS. The BoF proposal deadline is on Friday.
I'm guilty for not having yet delivered what I promised: a problem 
statement draft - working on it now.
