Folks,
The agenda/description of the GROW BOF posted to
IETF-Announce had some naming skew. I've cleand that up
in the below. Also, there is a mailing list that we can
use for this on grow at lists.uoregon.edu (thanks Lucy).

Full Description:
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is fundamental to the
operation of the Internet. In recent years, the occurrence
of BGP related operational issues has increased, and
while overall understanding of the default-free routing
system has improved, there is still a long and growing
list of concerns. Among these are routing table growth rates,
dynamic properties of the routing system, and the effects
of routing policy on both the size and dynamic nature of
the routing table. In addition, new and innovative uses of
BGP, such as the use of BGP as a signaling protocol for
applications such as VPN, have created new and unexpected
operational issues.
The purpose of the Global Routing Operations WG (GROW) is
continue and expand on the original charter of the
PTOMAINE WG. In particular, the purpose of GROW is to
consider and measure the problem of routing table growth,
and where appropriate, to document the operational
aspects of measurement, policy, security, and VPN
infrastructures.
