RE: [HICCUP] Any interest?

Having a draft problem statement would help greatly.  It is easier to
build and comment on something than start from scratch.  Consider this
sort of a brainstorming.  Sometimes a few ideas need to be put to
stimulate thought and activity.  

Without a problem statement, I don't think this group is ready for a
BOF.  Also, one needs a larger community than just DoD.  Having a
premature BoF without doing the upfront work will be counter productive.
What may be a worthwhile activity may come to a screeching halt.

NASA should have some interest in HICCUP, but they don't know it yet.
Regardless, NASA's use of HICCUP would be very limited and since most of
their communication is on closed networks, they can probably just solve
the problem with bandwidth - at least on the ground.
