[dispatch] Re: Discussing the IETF Draft about Open Cloud Mesh

[Giuseppe Lo Presti <[e-mail]>]

Hi Shuping,

Thanks, very much appreciated.

Meanwhile, I went through the extensive material available from past 
IETF meetings, and while I see remote participation is possible, we 
realize it's more appropriate to come and meet in person, to ease 
engaging in a fruitful discussion, surely more important than the 
presentation itself.

Now, it just happens that our yearly community event is scheduled to 
take place in the second part of the IETF 122 week, in Germany, making 
it difficult for us to attend IETF in person. Instead, we should have no 
issues attending IETF 123.

Therefore, as you are building the agenda for IETF 122, please feel free 
to postpone our request to next agenda, and if it helps I can resubmit 
it in due time according to the calendar, e.g. around mid-May. Again 
thanks for the priority you have granted us.

Best Regards,
Giuseppe
