Re: [Din] Side meeting on financial technology

As one of IETFer, I probably able to ask somebody to think about the relationship with the *financial* part in terms of deployment.
We maybe want to focus just on the technology. However,  even we want to avoid the bound with the financial part, we may not able to escape from that.

As I'm a researcher on the Internet technology, I seriously want to avoid the relationship with the financial part of relationships, unfortunately, as you see, I'm involved in dealing with the technology :<
