I would like to repeat my suggestion that the things to think about and threats stuff be moved to the end of the meeting, as going in such detail before even discussing the architecture is likely to waste time on details that will turn out to be moot later.

My view is that these are "business as usual" items that can be done fairly
quickly,

Hm, 1.5 hours isn't all THAT quickly...


but there is a high chance they would be pushed off the agenda
if left to the end.

That's better than pushing the discussion off the agenda. As there are only three drafts on the agenda and no other IETF stuff going on, I think it's reasonable to assume everyone has read the drafts anyway...


Also, I was wondering if it were possible to allow those who are so inclined to make a sort of "opening statement" or have something similar to what the IAB did a few IETF meetings ago.

This is an approach to starting the discussion of the architecture. We do
need some structure in that discussion, and this might be a good way to
help us focus. So my idea would be to do this after Geoff presents.

Ok.


About the jabber thing: wouldn't it be more useful to see if we can stream the audio? That way there is no need for a volunteer to break any typing records and jabber remains available as an out of band channel. (Do we have a jabber conference server, btw?)

I am told the IETF jabber server is always up.

Excellent.


Frankly I have no confidence
that we will get enough reliable throughput from an arbitrary hotel to
run streaming,

Sounds like a challenge. :-)


whereas jabber has a good chance of working even if the
network is spotty. So I think we should go for jabber anyway. If anyone
volunteers to run audio streaming, so much the better.

I'll see what I can do. Will we be using microphones?


(co-chair hat on again)

We are still looking for a jabber scribe!

I suppose I can do some of this, but not the entire day...
