Dear WG list members, fellow chair persons, "meeting"! Attached please find the 4th draft, proposed agenda for the DB-WG Meeting. This draft is the result of our attempts to resolve the WG schedule collisions. The proposal is to rearrange items, to run an extended 1st part (in _parallel_ with Routing), an then to continue with a _joint_ Routing and DB-WG session (after a probably belated coffee-break) to deal with items closely related to both camps. My apologies for this mess, but I guess this is the best thing that we could do - given the constraints that were imposed on us. Still, comments, suggestions and additions are welcome. Wilfried. ______________________________________________________________________ Proposed Agenda for the Database Working Group Meeting RIPE-37, Sept. 2000, Amsterdam, NL 4.
