IPFIX: Proposal for new work
       Based on discussion at IETF 69, Chicago

For IPFIX mailing list, we suggest that items 1-6
(above the --- line) be adopted as new WG work items.
Please comment by 6 Aug 07 - we'd like to know who's prepared
to work on each item, and who will review its drafts.

0. Remove SCTP stream restrictions in Protocol Document.
   Agreed: WG needs to do this, as soon as possible.
   Procedure: Call protocol document back from RFC EDitor Queue.
      make changes (only those needed for SCTP Stream use),
      and consequent changes to Implementation Guidelines and
      Testing drafts.
      re-run WG Last Call and IETF Last Call, resubmit to IESG.

1. Configuration Data Model (Gerhard Muenz)
   Agreed: Important to WG, not clear what protocol would be needed.
   Proposal: (a) Develop Configuration Info Model as a WG item,
       in English (and also an XML version) - Standards Track RFC.
       (b) Consider what protocol would be best for IPFIX Configuration.
           Requirements RFC?      Milestones: WG LC before IETF 71

2. SCTP Per-Stream Draft (Benoit Claise)
   Agreed: Needs to be explored, as a possible protocol option.
   Procedure: Make this a WG item, as Experimental RFC.
   Milestones:  WG LC after IETF 70, to IESG before IETF  71.

3. File Format (Brian Trammel)
   Agreed: WG item, as soon as possible.
   Procedure: Make this a WG item, as an Informational RFC.
   Milestones:  WG LC after IETF 70, to IESG before IETF  71.

4. Extended Types (Elisa Boschi)
   Needed for IPFIX files, most useful for Enterprise IEs; need to
   specify what operations make sense for an IE.
   Support shown for this as a WG item, as for File Format.
   Milestones:  WG LC after IETF 70, to IESG before IETF  71.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

5. IPFIX Mediation (Atayushi Kobayashi)
   Needed by (at least) two large operators.
   Could be integrated with Falko Dressler's draft on IPFIX Aggregation.
   Possible future WG item, continue discussion on mailing list.

6. Order of Information Elements (Irino)
   Interesting, need more people to measure possible efficiency gain.
   Would this be better as an individual draft?

7. Flow Sampling (Tanja Zseby)
   Early stage so far, comments/participation encouraged.
