1. Introduction

   At the Amsterdam IETF meeting, we held a BOF, entitled the "IPDecide
   BOF", on the process and progress of the IPng activities.

   ("IPng" stands for "IP, the next generation".   The IPDecide BOF was
   chaired by Brian Carpenter.  Minutes are available in the IETF
   directories, with the file name .)

   The IPDecide BOF explored several facets of the IPng process, such
   as:

      "What is the basis for choosing the next generation IP (i.e., what
      are the technical requirements and decision criteria)."
