Fall 2011 Homenet Interim
=========================

October 6th - 7th 2011
Hosted by Comcast.

The HUB, United Plaza, 30 South 17th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Statement of goals and scope
----------------------------

The focus of the October Homenet Interim meeting is to harness and
channel current momentum and energy towards a crisp architecture
document as well as the five focus areas defined in the charter.

Primary focus is on meeting our deliverables due by December:

Sep 2011 - First WG draft on the architecture
Dec 2011 - First WG draft on prefix configuration
Dec 2011 - First WG draft on routing

We have included time on the second day for areas with specific
milestones in 2012.

List of Deliverables
--------------------

We expect to make progress on each of our working areas, however the
only official deliverable from the Working Group in terms of documents
to be progressed to the IESG is the main Architecture working group
document.

Working Method
--------------

We plan for the meeting to be conducted in a highly interactive
workshop-style format, and will recruit strong leaders to own each
session. We don’t expect this to be a “list of draft presentations”.

Preliminary agenda
------------------

We will hold an informal social gathering on the evening of
Wednesday 5th for those arriving early (venue TBD).
