OPS-NM BOF at IETF

[Steve Feldman <feldman@twincreeks.net>]

Just a reminder that we'll be holding a BOF next Monday afternoon
at the IETF meeting in Salt Lake City to try to move toward closure
on the operator requirements draft.

See below for the url for the latest revision.

Also, anyone who is at the LISA conference in San Diego is
invited to attend the OPS-NM BOF being held there this evening.

Configuration Management requirements BOF (ops-nm)

Monday, December 10 at 1300-1500
==================================

CHAIR:	Steve Feldman <feldman@twincreeks.net> 

BOF descritpion:


  We have now had a number of sessions in the OPS Open Area Meeting
  and in interim meetings at NANOG, RIPE, and by the time of the IETF
  also at LISA. Communication between Operators and IETF-NM folk have
  improved quite a bit. But what we need is a simple and minimal
  requirements document (Informational RFC is what we are thinking of 
  for now) that we can then use to steer further work in the IETF.
  
  In order to try and come to closure on this, we will have this
  BOF at the 52nd IETF to help focus on the above goal. We are
  targeting closure on this either at the BOF or on the OPS-NM
  mailing list no later than Feb 2002.
