BANANA BOF IETF 99, Prague Background: 2 1/2 years of BarBOFS and BOFS. Previous meetings not clear enough to converge. Mailing list convergence. Charter Discussion (Group Editing Session) [See google doc edits, etc] Questions on WG Formation 1. Is the charter text clear and understandable? - Question about how the service is applicable/provisioned, or to know how to use it. Brian's response is that that's the first deliverable in the charter. - Is it in scope to use BANANA over SD-WAN or within Software-Defined VPNs? Current charter is focused on Internet and residential use-cases. Margaret's response is that is not specifically in scope. - Is the charter text trying to define new protocols? Clear? Decent Hum. Unclear? Low murmer. 2. Does it describe a problem and solution space to be worked on in the IETF? In IETF? Decent Hum again. Not in IETF? Low murmer. ===> Same group as first one 3. Does the group have interest in working on this? About a dozen. Suresh: I think there's some support for this, but there are a few clarity questions. Giving three weeks for clarifications on charter to go out and discuss. We'll re-use existing protocols where applicable (that should be in the charter), but creating new protocols is the work of the WG if it gets formed.
