People willing to work actively (i.e draft or and edit) a document on this topic are invited to contact me immediately. The objective is to plan a mini-BOF during the General Area open meeting at IETF 66. Without committed volunteers in the community, this work will not happen. The IETF's WG procedures (BCP 25, RFC 2418) were published in 1998 and are probably in need of updating in the light of eight years' practical experience. The first stage might be to write a summary of practical problems encountered in interpreting and implementing RFC 2418, and a summary of informal practices that have proved successful. (Note that mailing list management procedures are out of scope for this item.)
