Based on the proposals and discussion we've seen in the past week, this
BOF will be meeting in Montreal. Many thanks to Peter St. Andre and Pete
Resnick for agreeing to chair the session.

On today's BOF approval call, the IESG and IAB had an in-depth
discussion of the i18nRP BOF proposal. One of the topics that was most
discussed is a concern that the BOF does not have a clear path to
success, largely because the proposal has very little discussion of
proposed potential outcomes. While we do not expect the proponents to
presuppose an outcome, we believe that achieving a positive outcome
requires one or more specific proposals to serve as a basis for the
conversation.
At the same time, the volume of traffic on the IETF mailing list on
this topic does seem to demonstrate that there is interest in
discussing topics related to internationalization. The ART area
directors have therefore provisionally approved the BOF, subject to
the proponents and/or any other interested parties providing concrete
proposals as a basis for discussion.
Concretely, this means that the secretariat has been requested to
schedule a one-hour slot for the Montreal meeting for the proposed
BOF. If no concrete proposals for procedural approaches to address the
issues described by the BOF proponents are available by Wednesday,
June 13th, the secretariat will be requested to remove the BOF from
the schedule.
Although it did not come up during the call, I personally wish to
point out that open-ended brainstorming sessions without concrete
proposals are typically handled as unofficial side-meetings (either in
person or virtually). If the BOF proponents wish to maintain the
open-ended brainstorm session described in the current proposal, the
side meeting scheduling mechanism remains available; and I would be
happy to help out should any difficulties occur in using that mechanism.
Please send proposals and any other follow-up messages to i18nrp@xxxxxxxx
