Snooze You Lose! The WEIRD Guide to IETF BOFs is done

[Burke Chris-CCB007]

Well, a complete first draft, anyway. Let me know what you think, how to
make the content more usable. I still want to get this up on the web site
before Adelaide. Thanks! Chris Burke

Hi Chris,

looks fine to me! Three remarks:

o In the first paragraph you say ``discuss creation of new IETF working
groups''. This is correct, but may mislead raeders to think that every
BOF leads to a WG, which is not the case. How about something like
``evaluate interest in a certain topic which may lead to the creation of
a new IETF WG''?

o The second paragraph contains `` ... posted to the IETF New Work mailing
list ...''. Instead of linking in a mailto:-URL I'd suggest pointing to a
descriptive page for that mailing list. I must admit, I've seen it in
the address field of BOF announcements, but what exactly is its purpose?

o Also for BOFs a plea to people to prepare in advance and read the documents
might be appropriate in the explanation section.

Chris,

I'm sorry that I won't be joining you at Adelaide. It's nothing personal
:-) , I'm not attending this meeting.

Regards,

Graham.

Chris:
The page looks fine. The only thing is that the page is very long. So I
would put a table of contents on the left side with links to each BOF.
Maybe the WEIRD icons as well, branding etc., to incorporate it into the
entire site. I can do this if you like.

Bernie
