Thanks Lars, The venue for TPAC this year was chosen largely so that people could go to both meetings one after the other - although I'm not going to IETF. Some W3C staff will be going and I can raise this but it's better if someone from the group is going (although I doubt that will be the case). We could, incidentally, invite some IETF WG members to TPAC... Phil. On 05/10/2015 10:26, Svensson, Lars wrote: > Dear all, > > This new IETF WG probably has a severe overlap with some of our work. Is anyone in the group going to the IETF meeting in Yokohama the week after the TPAC and could try to figure out more?
