It is significant. The data indeed is from not only the network itself but also from other sources. Sometimes I ever thought the "non-network data" influence more, for example, a popular movie or online sales may detonate the traffic. In details, different users can utilize their private data to build their requirements. Such as, a content provider may use subscribers' data to train and optimize its delivery strategy. From the view of standardization, more data source could expand the impact and attract more players joining in the work.

I support the regular workshop (whatever in any form). I fully understand your worried about the "too early". However, I think it is better to find a common or say a potential standardized point to concentrate the focus. After that, we can expand our focus to other valuable area. A details point may help us to clear up the thought, during which we may evolve a clear methodology for the future work. Of course I totally agree with your open attitude. I mean only to concentrate the topic firstly.

Thanks for reading. And I hope I have caught up all your points here.
