It seems like yesterday when we were in Berlin, but I wanted to highlight that our Vancouver meeting is coming up soon. Sooner than usual, in fact, given the dates of the meetings this year. I wanted to highlight an important deadline. If you are working on a new proposal for work at the IETF, it needs to be submitted by September 23rd, just three weeks away. If you have a new idea, this would be a good time to start talking about it to others, create lists, submit early drafts. And talk to your ADs. We at the IESG are happy to help you in the process. If you have not submitted a proposal earlier, you should probably read RFC 5434 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5434) and BOF procedures (http://www.ietf.org/wg/bof-procedures.html). For more information about the meeting, see my recent blog post here: http://www.ietf.org/blog/2013/09/vancouver/ Jari Arkko IETF Chair
