Hi, all,

As you may already know, the IRTF management have reached the conclusion to close the proposed NMLRG and this mail list. It is mainly because we did not organize quality discussion in this new field. Although we have good numbers of participators for all our meetings, the topics were divergent and many questions/discussions showed we were in very early stage for applying the ML into network area. The community of Network Machine Learning needs more time to grow up. We are seeing more and more researches in this field. The closedown does not mean this work is dead. Oppositely, it actually means we need to do a lot more work in order to get the community ready for a new wave.

We are now in process to set up a new mail list soon. We have recorded all 277 subscribers in the mail list. We assume all the subscribers are also interested in the new mail list. Thence, by default, we will move all subscribers to the new mail list. If anyone does NOT want to be subscribed to the new mail list, please send me (jiangsheng@huawei.com) emails privately.

Many thanks for all of your involvement and support. Let's continue our efforts in this field together. With the belief in this direction, the next wave will not be far.

Best regards,

Sheng
