Hello Aaron,
As a coauthor let me suggest a correction to your
email,
The draft that defines an API for paging triggers is:
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-guri-seamoby-paging-triggers-00.txt
while the draft:
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-guri-seamoby-lahap-00.txt
used these triggers in defining an IP Paging protocol.
Therefore I think that the reference in your BOF
description should be changed to
draft-guri-seamoby-triggers-00.txt.
