What's the problem with holding a BoF?
It doesn't make sense to ask a person who lacks extensive travel
resources to fly to Canada to hold a BoF about a short draft.
It's not strictly necessary to make a BoF presentation in-person. It's
possible to present to a BoF session from a remote location, and I'm
pretty sure I've seen it done more than once.
(It may require a bit more prior arrangement to make sure it goes
well. e.g. Have someone physically present with a laptop to connect to
the on-site projector and advance to the next slide when asked, also be
able to telephone in just in case the normal audio conferencing
facilities don't work. But if you can get an AD to agree to sponsor a
BOF, making such arrangements should not be difficult.)
However I agree with those who say that a "virtual BoF" or even just
mailing list discussion, would be reasonable ways to initially evaluate
the problem and this proposal.
