Hello,

Since many of you are new to the IETF, I thought it might be helpful to send out a link to the important dates link that you may need to be aware of prior to the IETF82 in Taipei.  The IETF meeting starts on Sunday, November 13th with introductory sessions and a social.  If you are attending for the first time, it is a good idea to attend some of the sessions offered and of course the social to meet a few people.  If you have a draft that will be submitted (initial or an updated draft), see the important dates below.

Main page for IETF82:
http://www.ietf.org/meeting/82/index.html
The link for remote participation is not active yet, but we will have options available to accommodate.  Usually people who are remote type in questions or comments via jabber and someone in the room keep up the jabber session and relays the comments to those in the room.  I've been in rooms where there is audio (we did this at the last meeting where we held a 'side meeting' and used a conference bridge).  If appropriate, we'll use a webex session.

Agenda:
The MILE meeting slot is on Wednesday, during the afternoon session from 15:10-16:10 local time (Taipei)
