Re: Plenary Scheduling

Rough Proposal - IETF Plenary Sessions




Wednesday PM - Plenary Presentations

 - Introduction - Harald


   aim for 2 x 40 minute presentation slots with time for 30 minute comments.
   The presentations could be either a single presentation or a number of
   presentations on a single theme


   My guess is that we'd be aiming for presnetations that tie in some
   aspects of current deployment with research activity, but they could also
   be informative, or kite flying.

   I have no particular suggestions at present, although I'm sure others
   have picked up some interesting aspects of plenary presentations at other
   conferences in recent times. (like, how DO you support a game server
   with 100,000 registered game players like this new Star Wars thingy - whats
   the internal server deisgn, protocol architecture, etc)



Thursday PM - Joint IESG / IAB Open Meeting


  - Introduction  to the format and Agenda (Harald) - 5 minutes

  - Current Status overviews  - 1 Hour

        - IETF Chair       15 Minutes
           (include meeting statistics)

        - IAB Chair        10 Minutes

        - IRTF Chair       10 Minutes

        - IETF Secretariat 10 Minutes

        - RFC Editor       10 Minutes

        - IANA             10 Minutes

        Optional slots open for ISOC and ICANN

        Suggested format - 3 - 4 slides of highlights and a pointer
        further information as necessary / appropriate


  - Other items of IESG and IAB business - 1 Hour

    (possible items for the November meeting, to be conducted with
     opportunity for open comment)

    - Report from IAB Advisory Committee

    - Report on ICANN response to DNS wildcard issues

    - IETF Finances

    - Current IESG issues?

         In the past we've had Harald's finance presentation, the problem
         presentation, etc. I.e. items of IESG and / or IAB business that
         are considered to be appropriate to present to the IETF in plenary
         as part of this joint open meeting.

  - Opportunity for plenary comment (open mic) - notionally up to 1 Hour
