- As of March 1993 IESG adopted the following policy on the scheduling of BOFs
- during IETF meetings.
-
-
- 1. All BOFs wishing to meet during an IETF meeting must have the approval
- of the appropriate area director. A list of current area directors
- can be found in /ietf/1iesg.txt on ftp.ietf.cnri.reston.va.us. The
- Secretariat will NOT schedule or allocate time slots without the
- explicit approval of the area director. Please send a carbon copy of
- your request to Megan Walnut <mwalnut@cnri.reston.va.us> and ask the
- area director to copy her on the decision.
-
- 2. The purpose of a BOF is to conduct a single, brief discussion or to
- ascertain interest and establish goals for a working group. All BOF
- organizers are required to submit a brief written report of what
- transpired during the BOF meeting, together with a roster of
- attendees, to the IETF Secretariat for inclusion in the proceedings.
-
- 3. A BOF can only be held once (ONE slot at one IETF meeting).
-
- 4. Under unusual circumstances an area director can allow a BOF to meet
- for a second time. Typically, though not a requirement, this is to
- develop a charter to be submitted to the IESG.
-
- 5. BOFs are not permitted to meet three times.
-
- 6. Non-IETF groups wishing to participate in IETF meetings may hold a
- BOF for single-event discussion, or may pursue creation of normal
- IETF working groups for on-going interactions and disussions. The
- rules governing such BOFs are the same as for all other IETF BOFs
- and working groups.
-
- 7. When necessary, working groups will be given priority for meeting
- space over BOFs.
-
- 8. Once scheduled, BOFs are handled like working groups with regard to
- the meeting and proceedings. We require minutes and an attendee roster
- for the proceedings.
-
- 9. BOF chairs are asked to send a brief announcement of the BOF to the
- IETF list.
