This document describes an RFC 3933 experiment
in the Working Group formation process, known as the
Exploratory Group.  Exploratory Groups may be created as the
first step toward Working Group formation, or as an
intermediate step between a Birds of a Feather (BOF) session
and Working Group creation.  Exploratory Groups are focused on
completion of prerequisites for Working Group formation, and
as a result they have a short life-time, with limited
opportunities for milestone extension.  This memo defines an 
Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
