Upcoming VPN-related Events

57th IETF meeting
Vienna / July 13-18
The VPN discussions at this meeting will mostly be on trusted VPNs. There is active discussion about reorganizing and rechartering the Working Groups that cover VPNs, and that discussion will probably be a major part of the hallway gatherings at the meeting. (The IPsec Working Group is nearly finished with its IKEv2 work and will soon shut down, and therefore it is not meeting.)
