At my first meeting, I wasn't able to arrive on Sunday. At that point, I was mainly following work in one working group that was meeting mid-week. At later meetings, I wasn't a newcomer any more so I never attended a Newcomer meet and greet. That is probably pretty common. Pat -Original Me

RFC 1149 was the first humorous RFC I read and probably the first RFC I read. It was definitely accessible for me as a Layer 1 and 2 IETF outsider. Humorous RFCs can be a nice introduction to the structure of RFCs. Pat From: ietf-boun...@ietf.org [mailto:ietf-boun...@ietf.org] On Behalf Of Meli

+1 on for John's response. I will argue with my manager if I think they are wrong and I've gotten positive results from giving managers feedback on their performance. Of course, disagreeing with management won't always get the decision changed, but I've never felt I lost anything by raising th

Carnival is usually around March (I think it moves around being linked to Easter like Mardi Gras). I priced flights for November and July from Northern California and it looks like there would be option at less than my travel to Berlin (and about 2 to 3 times travel to East Coast North America).

Stewart, The charter is looking pretty good. I'd like to get on to the next phase, but not with this text: Driven by the requirements and consistent with the gap analysis, the NVO3 WG may request being rechartered to document solutions consisting of one or more data plane encapsulations and contr

As someone who during iSCSI development attended just to attend that group, I didn't find IETF to be single day attendance friendly and I don't think that day passes change that substantially. The main problem is that the final agenda isn't published until a little more than 3 weeks before the

One can't 100% protect against disruption from emergency situations. I'm Vice Chair of IEEE 802 and there was a case where a venue became unavailable due to a disaster. In that case it was enough before the meeting that it worked as Bob described - the hotel chain worked with us to identify and

Given this comment in John Levin's post: " PS: Now that I think about it, you can already put in a personal URL in rfc2xml, so if someone wants to use an ORCID URL, they can do so right now." it seems like there isn't any need to change the schema. -Original Message- From: ietf-boun...@ie
