The purposes of this BOF will be to 1. Explore technical issues associated with the creation of an Internet Nearcast Service. 2. Determine what related efforts exist. 3. Gauge interest in participating in the work. 4. Possibly gauge concensus in creating a working group. This BOF is a bit preliminary, since the technical ideas are only sketched out at this point. I envision, assuming things go well at the BOF, that an internet-draft will be created between Memphis and Munich, and that this internet-draft will be the basis for a more "serious" BOF in Munich. It is more likely that the second BOF would make the decision about forming a working group.
