As you develop your travel plans for the Pittsburgh NANOG meeting (which runs from morning of Monday, 11-Sep, through noon of Tuesday, 12-Sep), be aware of the following. At the Stockholm IETF meeting, there was a decision to have an interim meeting of the BMWG regarding our new effort in the area of IP Provider Metrics, and that the best time to have this meeting would be adjacent to NANOG. So, a more formal message defining that meeting and its agenda will be sent to the appropriate lists within a week. For the present, I only want to encourage anyone who will be attending NANOG and is interested in IPPM agenda to reserve the afternoon of Tuesday, 12-Sep, between 1:30p and 5:00p, at PSC, for that meeting. -- Guy
