Dear ICNRG participants,

It’s great to see that ICNRG is enjoying such high levels of interest and activity. Recently, we have been seen many submitted drafts out of which we adopted a few as RG items.

With the current number of items (draft updates, presentations, research discussions) we have to use our time efficiently. We are currently holding two ICNRG meeting at every IETF meeting (one during the week and one additional interim on the weekend before), and we cannot extend this.

So in order to make our meetings more interesting and efficient we would like to propose some new routines in this RG when it comes to presenting and discussing draft updates. We suggest that after a draft has been updated a detailed description of the updates should be sent to the ICNRG mailing list within a week from the draft was submitted (ideally directly after submitting). This will allow for a discussion on the mailing list before the meeting.

At the meeting we would like the presenter to focus on major changes/additions, in particular if you think they might stimulate some discussion at the meeting. Also please bring up other discussion items
related to the draft and/or plans for further work on or additions to the draft.

A typical draft update presentation could have the following four slide format:

1.  Why the draft was updated? Which issues was it trying to address?
2.  Which are the major technical changes?
3.  Which issues are unresolved? Which issues needs further discussion.
4.  What is still missing in the draft? Future plans for the draft?

In other words, please do not present the word-by-word diffs in the meeting.

Of course, if the discussion on the list suggests more need for face-time at the meeting, we will arrange that.

Your ICNRG chairs,
Börje, Dave & Dirk
