IETF 91 Agenda Available – DNSSEC, IPv6, TLS, BGP and more
It’s almost time for IETF 91 happening this time in Honolulu, Hawaii! From our DO team, Chris, Megan and I will all be out there and you can expect to see a great amount of IETF-related content coming from us over the next two weeks. In particular, you can expect to see the normal “Rough Guide” coming out next week in a series of posts on our Internet Technology Matters (ITM) blog.
Today I just wanted to point out that the final agenda for IETF 91 is now available from the IETF’s site in multiple forms:
I personally like the “tools-style” agenda because for each session you can easily get the links to the audio stream, chat room, documents and more. However, the HTML version on datatracker.ietf.org is also rather cool because you can select which working groups or areas you want to see and get a focused agenda.
Anyway, there is a great amount of work happening at IETF 91 related to ALL of the topics we cover here – IPv6, DNSSEC, TLS, BGP …. All the major Working Groups we follow will be meeting… it will be a VERY busy time for us all! (I don’t expect we’ll be seeing much of those Hawaiian beaches except out the windows!)
Stay tuned next week for more IETF 91 info… and if you are going to be out there we look forward to seeing you there!

Youth Curling Open House Saturday, Nov 1, 2014, at Petersham Curling Club
If you have children from age 5 all the way up to 21 and are curious if the sport of curling might be something for them to consider, you can check it out at a Youth Curling Open House happening tomorrow, Saturday, November 1, 2014, at the Petersham Curling Club about 45 minutes south of Keene in Petersham, MA. You can come by any time between 9:00am and 12noon and actually get on the ice to try it out. Learn about “throwing” the rocks (we actually slide them), using the brooms and about some of the strategy that many of us find so fascinating… you should even get a chance to play a bit of a game!
Plus you’ll get to meet some of the great youth already playing in the Petersham CC youth curling program and to learn about the benefits of the program. It should be a great time! Please see the flyer below for more info (click/tap on it for a larger version).
Getting to the Petersham Curling Club is pretty straightforward. From Keene, NH, just take Route 32 past the Keene airport and follow it all the way down through Athol, MA, and on over to Petersham, MA. The PCC is right on Route 32. (See the PCC directions page for more info.)
If you can’t make it tomorrow but are interested in learning more, the Petersham youth curling program takes place on Saturdays from now through March. For a local NH contact, you can email me as I help coaching the “Little Rocks” (ages 7-12) program at the PCC. You can also connect with the Petersham youth curling program on Facebook. Youth curling is a great experience – the kids learn a great amount about the sport and have a lot of fun along the way!

Curling Season Underway At Petersham Curling Club
Want to get started curling now? While we continue the work of building the Monadnock Curling Club, you can get started right now at the Petersham Curling Club (PCC) about 45 minutes south of Keene, NH, in Petersham, MA.
The season has begun there and curling leagues are running all nights of the week and on the weekends. There are leagues for men, women, mixed teams, competitive teams, beginners and youth. You can contact the Petersham CC to find out how to get more involved. If you have never tried curling before, they do offer “Learn To Curl” clinics from time to time.
Several of us involved with this Monadnock Curling Club effort curl down at Petersham CC because it is the closest curling club to Keene. It’s a great place and an awesome group of people!
As far as getting there, it’s a straightforward (although winding and twisting) drive down Route 32 (the road by the Keene airport) that goes down through Richmond, NH, then over into Royalston, MA, and then Athol and finally Petersham. The PCC is right on Route 32 so as long as you stay on the road you’ll get there.
Please do check it out and consider getting started with curling today!

Deadline of Oct 31 to Register for IAB Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (Featured Blog)
Can we develop better transport protocols for communication across the Internet? In a world where the "end-to-end" principle is no longer certain and middleboxes are common, which paths through the Internet are actually available to applications? Which transports can be used over these paths? How can applications cooperate with network elements to improve path establishment and discovery? ... These are all questions posed for the Internet Architecture Board's (IAB) Workshop on Stack Evolution in a Middlebox Internet (SEMI). Taking place in Zürich, Switzerland from 26-27 January, 2015.
