Working group chairs --

In an attempt to reduce the number of "late surprises" with documents 
found during IESG review -- that is, showstopping issues with uses of 
technology that can sometimes require non-trivial reworking of protocol 
mechanisms -- the IESG has gathered together a list of topics that 
frequently trip up document authors and occasionally entire working groups.

The hope is that Working Group Chairs can keep an eye on these topics as 
new work starts up in their working groups, so that appropriate experts 
can be looped in early in the process, thereby avoiding late surprises 
during IETF last call and IESG evaluation.

The high-level list lives at 
<https://trac.ietf.org/trac/iesg/wiki/ExpertTopics>. The intent is that 
this should be fairly easy to scan to see whether a document under 
consideration for adoption touches on any of the related technologies. 
Each area also has its own slightly more detailed page, linked from this 
list, that goes into the technology areas in a bit more depth; but the 
intention here is that anyone using a listed technology should reach out 
to a directorate, expert, or area director in the related area for guidance.

Please feel free to share this list with your respective working groups 
however you see most fit.

Thanks!
