Re: [re-ECN] Pls respond: Do we have a Congestion Exposure community?

["Piers O'Hanlon" <[e-mail]>]

I know I'm a little late but I'd like to register my interest in this
BoF. I'm involved in some drafts using ECN for RTP which would be
relevant to such work.

Cheers,

Piers O'Hanlon

If you want something like re-ECN to be there, but don't have the bandwidth to work on it, that's cool too - please say this - it's still palpable support. And you will be likely to have review comments related to how you want to use it.
