See <http://www.ietf.org/meetings/69-cutoff_dates.html>; the hard cutoff for scheduling a BoF is June 11. Since you bring it up, the biggest question over starting work in this area is whether there are appropriate resources available; i.e., qualified people willing to give their time to edit documents, review documents, chair a group, etc. -- and therefore this is likely to be the focus of discussion there. Although we have a small core of people working now, that's not necessarily enough to sustain a Working Group through the process, especially when revising such a highly visible specification. One interesting bit of advice that I got in Prague was that if we're at the point where one person leaving can cause the effort to fail, maybe it should fail anyway. I can't say that we're *not* at that point right now. Between now and Chicago, I'd hope that we can make a more definitive statement one way or another.
