The comments of several people on this new area lead me to believe that I am not alone in desiring to boldly go to this new frontier. I would like to gauge the interest in working on real-time issues, and the best way would be to have a BOF in Vancouver on the subject. More specifically, I would like to investigate interest in GREAT - Great REAl-Time, potentially chartered to produce BCPs about optimizing the user perception of real-time applications such as VoIP in the presence of network degradations typical of the public Internet. However, even if it is definitely decided to open this new area, there are still no SAI/RAI ADs to OK such a BOF. Other than waiting for the next meeting is there anything that could be done?
