BoF Trial Balloon

[hardie@qualcomm.com]

Howdy folks,
	Below is a BoF that was originally proposed by John
Klensin.  Ned and I have tweaked it to include several alternative
proposals and to make it a discussion of the route forward
(rather than any particular current draft).  This is currently
scheduled for early in the week, and we'd appreciate folks
stopping by and helping us think through the issues. 
This is not intended to become a charter discussion, but
a structured discussion of the best place to tackle the
problem.
	Thanks,
			Ted

Discussion                            60 min.

Topics for discussion:
	
  Are there other solutions which have been specified?

  The solutions present the problem at different scopes;

     Where should the IETF tackle it?

     Are some short-term, and other long-term?

     Can the solutions be staged or co-exist?

     If staged, how to migrate from one to another?

  What are the next steps for the IETF?


NB:  This BoF is exploratory in nature, and it is not intended that the IETF
will finalize a decision in this venue.  It was proposed to foster a
community discussion, not charter a working group or pick a winner.
If further work is required, step one would be identifying individuals
willing to carry that work forward.
