Hi.
For a newcomer or someone expecting to write I-Ds, some of the
most important sessions at the IETF are the various Sunday
afternoon tutorials and introductions. Many of them are (or
should be) of as much interest to remote participants as to f2f
attendees. Until and unless a newcomer's tutorial can be
prepared that is focused on remote participants, even that
session should be of interest.
For this particular meeting all of the following seem relevant
to at least some remote participants:
Newcomers' Orientation
Tools for Creating I-Ds and RFCs
IAOC Overview Session
Multipath TCP
Applying IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) to Network
Measurement and Management
So...
(1) The note below strongly implies that none of those sessions
are being audiocast. Why not and can that be fixed?
(2) There is no hint on the agenda or tools agenda about
availability of presentation and related materials (slides,
etc.) for those sessions. Do those materials not exist? I
know, but a newcomer or remote participant might not, that I can
find some tutorials by going to the IETF main page and going to
"Tutorial" under "Resources", but I have no idea which of those
links actually reflects what will be presented on Sunday.
Assuming the presentation materials do exist for at least
several of the sessions, finding them is much like the situation
with subscribing to the 87all list. It should no involve a
treasure hunt at which only very experienced IETF participants
can be expected to succeed.
Specific suggestions:
(i) Let's get these open Sunday sessions audiocast and/or
available over Meetecho or WebEx. If that is impossible for
IETF 87, it should be a priority for IETF 88 and later.
(ii) If there are presentation materials available, links from
the tools agenda and an announcement to IETF-Announce as to
where to find them would be desirable.
(iii) If presentation materials are not available, why not?
And, more important, can this be made a requirement for IETF 88
and beyond?
thanks,
john
