As some of you have no doubt seen, QUIC is now chartered as am IETF Working Group:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/quic/charter/

Welcome!

As a reminder, as an IETF list, activity here is covered by the NOTE WELL terms; for more information, see:

https://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html

This WG *will* be meeting at the Seoul IETF; we'll have a draft agenda out for comments soon, but we expect to go over the charter and the input documents there. If you have not already, please familiarise yourself with all of them beforehand.

Our milestones are on an aggressive schedule, so we will be having a number of Interim meetings (as highlighted in the charter). Details will be forthcoming soon, but at this point we anticipate having at least three standalone Interims in 2017, roughly half-way between the IETF meetings (with the first in the mid-January to mid-Feburary timeframe), with the potential for Interims held adjacent to the three IETF meetings as well (in addition to meeting during the Plenary weeks, of course).

As many other WGs have, we plan on using Github <https://github.com/> as the repository for our documents and issues list(s). Best practices for using Github in IETF work are still evolving, but we will take appropriate steps to assure that a) no information is "locked" into Github, and b) it is possible to participate without disadvantage if you choose not to create a Github account. If this causes you concern, please contact the chairs.

We'll be in touch soon with more information, but in the meantime, please continue to discuss the documents and implementation of them on the list. We look forward to working with all of you.

Regards,

Lars Eggert and Mark Nottingham, QUIC Working Group Chairs
