An IESG retreat will be scheduled for late April in LA. 17. Paul reported that Usenix was very interested in meeting jointly with the IETF at the Dallas IETF meeting (December '95). The joint meetings, focusing primarily on mail, would be held over a 2-3 day period. There was some discussion on whether this would be limited to WG meetings or special plenary sessions. Some thought scheduling the workshop, which would be technical and not tutorial in nature, to occur at the same time as the IETF meeting would not be good thing. Paul will work with Usenix folks to put together a more concrete proposal.
