Any interested party may submit a BOF proposal for consideration by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Proposals are due by the BOF submission deadline determined for each meeting, and will be approved or declined for scheduling prior to the publication of the IETF meeting agenda. See the BOF submission procedures below for more information.
Though some BOFs lead to forming a working group, BoFs may be used to gather a sense of the IETF community about a topic without intending to form a working group.
BOFs are not a required step in forming working groups. If an Area Director believes that a proposal for a new working group is compelling, well thought out, and well organized, the Area Director can initiate the process of chartering a working group without approving a BOF.
BOF meetings have a very different tone than do WG meetings. The purpose of a BOF is to make sure that a good charter with good milestones can be created, that there are enough people willing to do the work needed in order to create standards, and that any standards would get adoption. Often a self-selected group of key people will get together after the BOF to refine the draft charter.
Generally, only two BOF meetings are allowed for the same topic. Sometimes it is obvious after one meeting that a WG should be created, and sometimes it is obvious a WG would not be successful.
To propose a BOF session for an upcoming IETF meeting, it is best to contact an Area Director (AD) in the relevant Area in advance of the BoF proposal submission deadline date for the meeting, or simply send email about a potential BOF proposal to the full IESG at iesg@ietf.org.
Proposals for BOFs must be submitted in the Datatracker prior to the BoF submission deadline. Logging in to the BOF request page requires IETF Datatracker credentials. The request form contains a list of information that must be included with each proposal.
