CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Jim McQuaid/Wandel & Goltermann Technologies Minutes of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group (BMWG) Twenty-eight people attended the meeting. Scott Bradner opened the meeting with an announcement that Jim McQuaid is the new BMWG Working Group Chair. Scott then gave an overview of the working group's activities and briefly reviewed the contents of the two working documents. He mentioned that both documents are available from hsdndev.harvard.edu in the pub/bmwg directory. The subject of adding modems and methods for testing bridges and routers to the document was brought up. It was thought that adding modems would be straightforward. The attendees then discussed the charter at some length, reviewing aspects of the work which was done and the work which needed to be addressed in the future. The revised ``goals and milestones'' section of the charter will be changed to reflect the future work of the BMWG Working Group. A survey of articles on benchmarking methodologies as well as research being done in this area will be conducted and reported on at the next meeting.
