Knowing what BOFs are being thought about [was: Re: IETF 65 BOF Announcement: Digital Identity Exchange (DIX)]

Finding out what BOFs are being plotted is not very easy AFAIK. In the case below there doesn't appear to have been any widespread public announcement of the start of the mailing list and I suspect that is the case for many others.

Obviously an announcement of intent to the IETF list or the Announce list is one way for people to tell the world. For those who can't cope with the traffic on the IETF list and to provide a more permanent reminder, it would help to have a 'prospective new work' page on the IETF web site where new pre-BOF mailing lists could be publicised with a time limit so the advert is removed at the end of 1st or 2nd IETF meeting after it was first started (or when a BOF occurs or the WG starts up) to avoid the list getting overly long.

Regards,
Elwyn

Name of the BOF
I dont see a preliminary discussion list on this BOF. That's IMHO is customary.

There's a list that's been around since approximately Vancouver.  Archives
included:

I'll let John answer your other questions. ;-)
