EDU Team Charter

• FUTURE PLANS
• Over the next 18 months, we will enhance and
  extend our current training activities for
  participants, document editors and WG
  chairs,based on community feedback and the
  judgment of the EDU Team. We will also continue
  to look for new ways to make instructional
  material available to the IETF, such as web-based
  training materials.
• We are starting a new educational initiative
  intended to help participants to bring new work
  items into the IETF, either into existing WGs or
  via BoFs and the formation of new WGs. This
  effort will include the development of
  informational documentation as well as the
  development of a new IETF process tutorial.
