  =============================
> 1. Administrativia (Ian & Henk, 5')
>
> 2. TTM Network Update 
     Erik Romijn (5')
> 3. RIPE NCC NetSense uncovered 
     Franz Schwarzinger & Vasco Asturiano (25')
> 4. Throughput metrics and packet delay in TCP/IP networks 
     Timur Sultanov (20')
> 5. IPv6 Deployment Monitoring
     Kamal Ahmed (TBC, 20')

     Measurement of progress in IPv6 roll-out is important to saveguard the
     availability of Internet services to the public in the future. A
     measurement methodology is presented that provides a metric which aims
     at determining the current level of IPv6 deployment through a combination
     of measurements involving websites and end-users. The presentation will
     also detail on the implementation and use of this methodology which is
     currently being tested on a limited number of websites. Participating
     websites may profit for free from the gathered knowledge as they are
     able to assess IPv6 migration needs based on the measured
     percentage of IPv6 capable visitors of their website

> 6. Possible WG Charter Update (15') 
     Mark Dranse plus Chairs.

     Proposed new text:

     The purpose of the working group is to provide a forum in which the
     RIPE NCC and the community can collaborate in the areas of data, tools
     and analysis relating to the Internet and its infrastructure, with a
     loose focus on monitoring, diagnosis, analysis and forecasting. It is
     not the purpose of the working group to compare the performance of
     networks for marketing purposes.

     This move away from a strict focus on Test Traffic means that
     we will have to change the name of the working group. Our 'working title'
     is MAT-WG, where MAT is an acronym for Measurement, Analysis, Tools, and we
     welcome your comments on this.
