URGENT: BoF input request deadline : TUESDAY 13th Nov. 2001

[Gorry Fairhurst <gorry@erg.abdn.ac.uk>]

Dear all, 

First some good news, Andrew Valentine (A.Valentine@eu.hns.com), has 
volunteered to help me co-ordinate the work of this list. Andrew,
whose name has appeared on the list a few times, has been doing much
of the behind the scenes work.

Second, there is now a pressing need to get input from all those who
may be interested in participation in the forthcoming BoF and/or in
the working group that may follow. We will need this information to 
liaise with the IETF AD's.  I therefore need to set a deadline of
tomorrow for collecting ideas, and responses to the enclosed form.

Thanks to all who have returned the form commenting on (or agreeing)
with the charter, and the few who have volunteered to edit or 
comment on the documents to be written.

Best wishes,

Gorry
