STORM BOF - Draft minutes

See below - these are a bit on the long side, as a lot of
ground was covered in the BOF.  Many thanks to Paul Koning
for helping to take notes.

We did not actually have a jabber scribe providing running
commentary in the jabber room - the assumption/hope was that
everyone in the jabber room was listening to the audio feed.
If that was a bad assumption, please send me an email
directly, and we'll do better in the future.

The overall conclusion of the BOF is that a new STORM
(STORage Maintenance) WG should be formed to pursue
essentially the program of work in the draft charter that
I sent to the lists earlier.  There will be a new
storm <at> ietf.org mailing list for this WG.

As all decisions in IETF meetings are confirmed on mailing
lists, now is the time to speak up if:
- anyone thinks that a WG should not be formed, or
- anyone thinks that one or more of the work items on the
	draft charter (see minutes) should not be done.
I will also be contacting some people directly to try to
ensure that there is at least one Internet-Draft author
for each work item.

Please also provide any other corrections to the minutes
(either to the list or directly to me).

Thanks,
--David

Re: STORM BOF - Draft minutes

Having seen no objection to (or even comment on) this on
the list:

the conclusion of the BOF is confirmed, and I will proceed
to put together an actual proposal to form a WG.  The
next steps will be to put the new storm <at> ietf.org mailing
list in place and produce an actual draft charter with
milestones.  The draft charter will take a little
while (week or two) to appear for comment, as I first want
to contact potential draft authors to ensure that the
milestone dates are somewhat plausible before putting
them into the draft charter.

Anyone interesting is being a WG co-chair (multiple co-chairs
are likely) should contact our responsible Area Director,
Lars Eggert [lars.eggert <at> nokia.com] (cc:'ing me would be
appreciated, but is not necessary), as appointment of WG
chairs is up to the Area Directors.

I will also make minor edits to the draft minutes and
submit them to the proceedings.

Thanks,
--David
