Re: They're already calling for 53rd IETF Meetings

Ed,

In my opinion, a time slot in Minneapolis would be time well spent.

I sent some suggestions to the chairs prior to SLC, one is in-progress as
we speak -- the data protection (aka "privacy") bits, between Scott and I. 

Other dohickies I suggested were:

	1. "moving out of the ICANN gTLD ghetto
                + adding the "sponsoring entity" authorization mechanism
                + archival logging in-band (see <push>)
	2. technical bells-and-whistles
                + symmetric event model (see <push>)
		+ bulk (ftp) model
                + restart and recovery work
	3. some unspecified security "stuff"

Scott's suggestion that we put an Open Source server out is a good idea,
and there has been real off-list and on-list interest in that. This is a
good subject for at least 15 minutes.

Another subject that is "ripe" now is the question of one client. Please
see Ed's note of the 29th, and my reply, also of the 29th. This is a good
subject for at least another 15 minutes.

I'm implementing, and I'll be happy to attempt interoperability testing
with nearly anyone prior to or during the week of -53.

So, IMO, at least an hour, two would be fine if implementors reports are
tossed in.
