I keep hearing bits and pieces about members of the EU's HLIG (High Level Internet Group) being in London on the Monday for some special meeting with the IETF.

Indeed this was mentioned around their meeting in Brussels.

"As many members expressed the wish to get to know better the IETF, the Commission has been in discussions with the IETF in order to organise a special session of seminars for HLIG members and the possibility to attend some technical meetings during the next IETF, to be held in March in London. HLIG members are asked to signal their desire for the Commission to organise such a meeting."

"The Group welcomed the Commission's intention to facilitate the IETF organise a special session of seminars for HLIG members and the possibility to attend some technical meetings during the next IETF, to be held in March (2-7 March, exact date to be decided) in London. HLIG members also signalled their willingness that IETF members are invited again during HLIG meetings."

May I ask if such a special meeting is taking place?

Is it a closed meeting? Or is it open to others at the IETF? Indeed is it open to officials from other governments?

Regards,

Gordon
