Hi,

In case you want to do some homework before the meeting, there are some
resources available in addition to the RFCs quoted in the proposed
charter (6126, 7557, 7298):

  * a 50 minute long technical introduction to Babel:
    slides:

     http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jch/software/babel/babel-20150804.pdf

    talk:

     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zMDLVln3XM

  * proposed applicability statement:

     https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chroboczek-babel-applicability-01

  * currently deployed extensions:

    source-specific routing:

     https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-boutier-babel-source-specific-01
     http://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.0445v4.pdf

    RTT-based routing:

     https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jonglez-babel-rtt-extension-01
     http://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.3488v1.pdf

    diversity routing:

     https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chroboczek-babel-diversity-routing-01

There is also a proof of the loop-freedom properties, but it's not
human-readable yet (the proof is complete, but the prose around it is
missing).  Let me know if you want a copy.
