Hi Sue, Hi all,

In a previous email it is mentioned that:

"The Nemo-project group seeks to create a simple Intent-Based inter-operable application protocol that forms a simple NorthBound API (NB) for applications on any platform to control the following : a) setup and take down of virtual networks between virtual nodes, b) control transfer of data toward storage, and c) handle compute devices with a the minimal set of intent-based primitives."

Can you please provide some clarifications on the following points?

o) What is the motivation of starting this working group? Are there use cases defined that are motivating this work?

o) What are the work items? Is the main goal of the WG to standardize a new protocol, or to extend an existing one?

o)  What is the relation of IBnemo with existing IETF WGs?

Best regards,
Georgios
