missing for successful uptake.– Internet Architecture -- sponsoring continued discussion,

and further documentation of Internet engineering principles to help make "common knowledge" just that.

– Bad Net Traffic -- providing further pointers to work being done to harden protocols and infrastructure to provide tools to reduce the possibility and impact of such activity.
