The IESG adopted the following policy on the scheduling of BOFs during
IETF Plenary meetings. This policy goes into effect following the
Columbus, Ohio meeting in March, 1993.
1. All BOFs wishing to meet during an IETF Plenary must have the
approval of the appropriate Area Director. The Secretariat will NOT
schedule or allocate time slots without the explicit approval of the
Area Director. Please cc Megan <mdavies@cnri.reston.va.us> and ask
the Director to copy her upon approval.
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 Plenary meeting).
4. Under unusual circumstances an Area Director can, at his/her
discretion, 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, IETF WGs will be given priority for meeting space
over IETF BOFs.
8. Once scheduled, BOF's are handled like Working Groups with regard to
the Meeting and Proceedings. We require Minutes and an Attendee Roster
for the Proceedings.
9. Provide IETF mailing list with a brief announcement and description of
the BOF.
