Well, there isn't a delay tolerant networks working group, but the IRTF has a DTNRG ( http://irtf.org/dtnrg ). At least one of the chairs is a "goer". If you really wanted to standardize this, wouldn't you be able to find 1-2 people on the DTNRG list who would be willing to "do the BoF thing"? I'm not saying this is definitely what you should do. There are plenty of reasons to bring something to the IETF and to not bring it. I'm only saying that it is possible.

One of those has several co-authors that I recognize as current "goers". You also have a current draft with several co-authors, but I have no idea whether they're "goers" or not. Anyway, you are not a hermit. Through the RFCs and drafts that you have co-authored, you know people who do attend. > > > Email secured by Check Point
