[irtf-discuss] Re: Draft Charter for an IRTF Proposed Research Group: Sustainability and the Internet Research Group (SUSTAIN RG)

[Eliot Lear <[e-mail]>]

Ali,

Thanks for driving this.  This group is extremely well timed, given the 
vast amounts of resources that AI and its associated hype are 
consuming.  I would suggest that you consider one additional aspect: the 
Internet doesn't just consume resources, but it can also be used to SAVE 
resources.  For instance, load shifting based on where the sun or wind 
can be found, energy-aware infrastructure (GREEN, etc).

Regards,

Eliot

We are aware that public side meetings are difficult to attend remotely. Accordingly, we will arrange an additional on-line meeting about a week after the IETF 121 to ensure adequate access for remote participation as well.

We would also be very happy to see you at the SUSTAIN RG Public Side Meeting at IETF 121 and/or at the on-line meeting to be arranged just after IETF 121.
