### Short Activity/Proposal Title

* **Main contact:** Names and email addresses of a small number of main contacts.
* **Forum:** Mailing list, Slack channel, etc. for interested parties to learn more and join the effort.
* **Materials:** GitHub repo, I-Ds, papers, etc. Links to relevant material.

Active Proposals

Below is a (not necessarily complete) list of things the chairs are aware of at the moment. Whoever feels in charge for one of the items below should feel free to create an entry (using the template) in this section, and then remove the bullet item from the list:

QUIC-LB

Servers generate their Connection IDs, but numerous trusted devices it the path (load balancers, DDOS boxes, crypto offload, local switch disaggregators) need access to some of the encoded data in those CIDs, while that same data is opaque to untrusted observers. QUIC-LB defines multiple encoding strategies to allow this cooperation between servers and trusted intermediaries.

qlog logging format and associated tooling and visualizations

qlog is a proposal for a flexible, interoperable endpoint logging format/schema spanning multiple modern protocols and networking use cases, as well as its associated tooling. The idea is that all QUIC and HTTP/3 implementations would output logs in the same JSON-based format, making it easier to write reusable (browser-based) tools. The format is evolving rapidly and we welcome feedback and implementation experience. Currently supported (partially) by quicker, lsquic, mvfst, quant and aioquic.
