Public Side Meeting: Consolidation Protocol development, the IETF and Internet consolidation --------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, 28 July 1600-1730 local time
Several recent Internet drafts have discussed aspects of consolidation and how protocol design and consolidation interact. While some of the drafts have had extensive revisions based on discussions on mailing lists, consolidation is not a part of any charter for a Working Group and seldom gets discussed in larger, plenary sessions. The purpose of this session is to have a brief discussion of some of the important contributions and then a discussion of whether this should be a topic that gets more formal treatment within some part of the IETF, IAB or IRTF. One of the drafts describes consolidation as "the process of increasing control over internet infrastructure and services by a small set of organizations.” Draft agenda for the meeting: ----------------------------- 1. Introduction, purpose and ground rules for the meeting 2. Characteristics of existing I-Ds that discuss consolidation 3. Discussion of whether or not consolidation is an appropriate topic within the IETF 4. Assessment and agreement of next steps (e.g. meeting in London at 115) 5. AOB The meeting will be chaired by Jim Reid. Questions or suggestions can be sent to mark <at> internetpolicyadvisors.com --
