Re: [hops] Proposal for HOPS RG

Hi Lars,

thanks, that’s absolutely in line with what we have in mind. We see a to of activity and interest at the moment and potential for a longer-term research group. However, you can never say if people will be able to actually release data and how and so we would like to have a few meeting and see if we ca come up with continuous work we would like to do here.

The IRTF tries to charter groups that are long-lived and try to tackle problem areas of substantial size, and I wonder if this is the case here.
