looks fine to me! Three remarks: 

o In the first paragraph you say ``discuss creation of new IETF working
  groups''. This is correct, but may mislead raeders to think that every
  BOF leads to a WG, which is not the case. How about something like
  ``evaluate interest in a certain topic which may lead to the creation of
  a new IETF WG''?

o The second paragraph contains `` ... posted to the IETF New Work mailing
  list ...''. Instead of linking in a mailto:-URL I'd suggest pointing to a
  descriptive page for that mailing list. I must admit, I've seen it in
  the address field of BOF announcements, but what exactly is its purpose?

o Also for BOFs a plea to people to prepare in advance and read the documents
  might be appropriate in the explanation section.
