Hi all, Since there is interest, I will put it on the agenda for the 17th, and we can also discuss whether we want to do it here in your CG or start with a model during the TMCG calls we are planning. Who wants to prepare a short introduction on the topic? I would say on “What are we working on?” I will put it after ETSI/CRA EN-304-617.
