about didcom. we're looking at trying to introduce that at the IETF and
yeah we did a little bit of survey and we got some results of who's using
didcom and I could give a presentation on that. It would be short, but we
could have Q\&A.

Grace. I don't know if I have your email or is it on the mail list
somewhere?
