From both the Academy and the Industry, we got interests to contribute to this work. Possible contributors name can be found at the end of this mail: Thanks for your input on how to proceed further: <ol> <li>Do you think the topic is useful for the RIPE community? If yes, any guidance on how to proceed further will be appreciated.</li> <li>Should this discussion be initiated in the RIPE IoT WG and not in the BCOP task force?</li> <li>Anyone in this mailing list would be interested in contributing or provided references to people who will be interested to contribute?</li> </ol> People who have already expressed interest in contributing: From the Academy: <ol> <li>Andrzej Duda (<a href="http://duda.imag.fr/">http://duda.imag.fr/</a>)</li> <li>Maciej Korczynski (<a href="http://mkorczynski.com/">http://mkorczynski.com/</a>)</li> </ol> From the Industry: <ol> <li> Ad Bresser (SPIN product manager) </li> <li> Eliott Lear (CISCO)</li> <li> Jacques Latour (CIRA - The Canadian Internet registry)</li> <li>Peter Steinhauser (Embedd.com)</li> <li>Possiblity from CZNIC (Czech Internet registry) who are involved in Turris router project</li> </ol> Sandoche. </body> </html>
