We have been given a 2-hour slot for rtgwg on Wednesday (Mar/13) afternoon.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/86/agenda.txt

Given the interest in recent months on power-aware/energy-efficient networking, we will dedicate the second hour of the meeting to that topic.  According to the WG's charter, rtgwg is the appropriate place to discuss topics that are not ready for their own WG/BOF and that are related to routing.  Please be clear that this section of the meeting should not be considered a BOF or side-meeting or any other such construct targeted at potentially creating a WG.  The goal is to discuss the technology and potential work items, if any, that the WG may take on.  Ideally we would reach agreement (pending discussion on the list, of course) on what the topic covers, what may belong in the IETF at this time, and whether there is interest in doing any work.

The first hour will be dedicated to "business as usual".  Please send us any requests for presentations.

For the second hour, the agenda will give people a chance to clarify the work they think needs to be done, and have time for discussion. We think we know who should be addressing the meeting, but if you think you have a draft or a specific topic to add, please let us know.

We will be asking all the presenters to start a discussion on the list about their drafts, pointing out the parts they would like the most feedback on.  The intention is to both have an idea of the initial interest and for the content to not be completely new at the in-person meeting, hopefully resulting in better discussions.

Thanks!

Alia and Alvaro.
