45 minsWorking Draft ReviewWenjing Chu 

We continued on our main topic: review of progress on the Working Draft.

Since we had several new Task Force members, Wenjing gave an overview of the spec before diving further into the routing protocol sections. See the recording of the NA/EU meeting for details.

We had a general discussion about timing. Wenjing felt it was reasonable for us to have an Implementer's Draft ready by the end of the year, which means that the first implementation efforts could begin in January. Wenjing suggested we should consider an Implementer's Kickoff meeting. There was a general consensus that would be a great, and we just need to decide on timing.

ACTION: Drummond Reed, Wenjing Chu, and Sam Smith to have an offline discussion about the timing for an Implementer's Kickoff meeting and report back at our next meeting on November 29.
