Hi all.

As you know, the in-person IETF meeting in Vancouver has been cancelled. There is a reduced schedule for virtual meetings [1], but that does not include ACME.  The IESG chair has published a recommended schedule [2] for the working groups to hold virtual meetings in April instead of the physical session in Vancouver.  For ACME, the chosen date is Monday, April 6th, but we are free to choose to meet at that date at whatever time is convenient, or we may choose a different date in May, or we may skip the meeting altogether if we don’t believe there is added value in holding a virtual meeting over just using email.

Please note that virtual meetings pretty poor for status and progress reports. They are functional for discussion and making decisions.

So, if you are interested in holding a meeting, please reply to this with three pieces of information:
Work item you would like to discuss online (example: the email-smime draft  (possible to have more than 1)
Think you think requires discussion (example: Need to support text/html mail for the challenge)
Preferred time of day for the interim meeting (please state that in UTC to avoid confusion)

Thanks,

Rich & Yoav
