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 courtesy copy
of your request to agenda@ietf.cnri.reston.va.us and ask the area
director to copy this address on the decision.
NOTE: ALL requests for BOFs must be accompanied by BOF Description and
Agenda, and the relevant Area Directors must be copied. The
Secretariat should ONLY schedule complete requests (pending AD
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 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.
