Meeting notice and other proto-WG items

[Edward Lewis <lewis@tislabs.com>]

Officially we are still in limbo, but we are getting close.

First, a few of us are working towards setting up an interim meeting in the
Washington DC area on or about Feb 21.  The closet airport is Dulles (IAD).
You may want to either being making arrangements for this or keep an eye
out for the announcement on ietf-announce.  (Making ietf-announce is
important because that reaches a wider audience than just this list.)

Second, our charter is now "before" the IESG.  They meet in a few days to
discuss it.  I sent the charter as it was on this list about 1-2 weeks ago,
but I will need to edit it - e.g., to remove the references to the draft
documents.  (Drafts get retired, hence they aren't really eligible to be
refered documents.)  More changes may be needed in response to the IESG
comments.

Third, I am trying to get a 1-hour meeting slot at the Minneapolis IETF.
(BTW, http://www.ietf.org will have information on that meeting beginning
Monday the 22nd.)

PS - For the interim meeting, I am thinking of starting around 10am and
going the full day (about 5pm).  For those arriving from Europe, there are
a number of flights departing Dulles around 6pm (1800) for Europe, so if
there is a desire to shut the meeting down earlier we can try to accomodate
this.

I think the agenda will be:
     Agenda bashing: (short)
     WG status: (short)
     The EPP proposal
     Other proposals
     Discussion of forming a design team

Other topics that might be useful are short presentations on how some
registries operate with regards to registrars (I doubt that we'd have time
for good coverage of that though), security concerns (privacy as opposed to
transactions), extensibility of the protocol to other (non-domain name)
data.

Let me know what should be on the agenda...
