I've been talking to a few folks about whether there would be interest and
energy for a new IRTF RG focusing on - for the lack of a better term -
"Internet challenges and solutions for emerging regions." Basically, a forum
where we can discuss the challenges the Internet is facing in those regions,
and share experiences and proposals to successfully address some of those
challenges.
...
I'd be thrilled to discuss this in more detail with interested folks. This
list, however, is probably not the place for this. Contact me directly, and
maybe I'll set up a separate list under irtf.org.
I head the secretariat create a discussion list for "Emerging Regions Internet
Challenges And Solutions" aka ERICAS. Subscribe at
https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ericas and email the list at
ericas(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org.
Please feel free to invite everyone you feel should be involved in this
discussion, IETF attendee or not!
Also, while I'll be on the list and at least initially act as administrator in
terms of whitelisting posts, etc., I do believe strongly that in order for this
discussion/effort to be useful, it needs to be owned by and run by a group of
people from those emerging regions. So I encourage everyone to step up and
actively shape the discussion!
Thanks,
Lars
