Re: [tsvwg] travel funds for ietf for the next SCE talk?

[Magnus Westerlund <[e-mail]>]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for bring this work to the IETF. Yes, I would also like to encourage you to discuss your proposal in TSVWG using the mailing list and eventually present this work at the next TSVWG meeting. However, there is not required to participate in-person. We frequently have remote presentations and from my experience that works well. I’m sure the TSVWG chairs can further advise you on this.

Cheers

Magnus Westerlund
