- 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.
