  *   Friday, 2019-07-26, 10:00-16:30, NMRG interim meeting aka IBN workshop

Please let us know, by Tuesday, July 8th, in case you are interested to present/discuss something in one/both of these meetings.

Dear NMRG,

In order to plan the various possible NMRG meetings at IETF 105, we would like to get your inputs on the following options, ideally before Wednesday, May 22nd 2019, AoE:

- Topics for discussion during the IETF 105 meeting ("regular" NMRG session(s))
  We plan to allocate time for discussion on intent based networking and the research group re-chartering.
  We could have time for other topics based on expressed needs, such as follow-up on the AI for Network Management discussion in IETF 104/Prague/March 2019. Presentations on other topics are also welcome.


- Use of unstructured time to progress on work of the NMRG ("informal" NMRG session(s). outcome could eventually be reported in the regular session if timing allows)
  IETF 105 schedule will allow for unstructured time during mornings and evenings of the IETF week.
  To maximize the efficiency of such unstructured time, we advise to organize in advance and call for specific items to be discussed and inform participants accordingly.


- Side meeting in the form of a dedicated workshop/meeting as done at IETF 102/Montreal/July 2018 ("interim" NMRG meeting).
  Last year we've organized a 1-day workshop on intent based networking together with the ETS Montreal, on the Friday.
  We could repeat a similar experiment based on expressed needs.
  The topic could be again intent based networking or another one.
  We can try to accommodate another day to the extent possible. However it seems Friday would again be the best option wrt. to other planning constraint of the week.


Please note that Applied Networking Research Workshop (ANRW) will be taking place on the Monday of IETF 105, and no other IRTF sessions will be scheduled on that day.

Thank you, best regards,
Laurent.
