I think (hope?) it would be worthwhile and this is a pretty good first cut at 
a list of topics.  I do have a couple of comments (inline).

Should Deepfield be on the list?  My impression is that after great initial 
hoopla, it has at best faded into the background.  Or is this feeling just 
caused by the lack of follow-up by Internet2 with the regionals?

I would suggest talking about IRRToolSet in conjunction with IRR.  I don't 
know that anyone in our community is actively using it to generate 
configurations, but it is a useful tool.  And should RPKI be mentioned 
somewhere?

And are we just talking about inter-domain unicast routing...?
