CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Guy Almes/Rice University MINUTES At the IETF meeting at the University of Hawaii, we spent some time discussing whether to split the Interconnectivity Working Group into two parts: o one group of limited duration that would work on the BGP protocol and its usage and deployment, and o another ongoing group more concerned with the operational aspects of interconnectivity, especially with tuning the routing at major connection points in the Internet. The result of these discussions is that IWG will split, and the protocol development half will retain the name Interconnectivity Working Group (and fall within the Routing Area of the IETF), while the other half will be called the Topology Engineering Working Group and fall within the Operations Area of the IETF. At the coming IETF at Florida State, IWG will meet all of Tuesday, and TEWG will take the slot originally allocated to IWG on Wednesday morning.
