Hi Daniel, Thank you very much for your participation in the workshop and prompt response to the summary. As you might have already noticed, I added the following note at the bottom of the summary, because there were several guys (including you) who were very interested in a WG rather than an IG :) [[ Note that the possibility of creating a Working Group rather than a Interest Group for the expected requirements is not excluded even though the consensus during the workshop was to initiate the efforts with an Interest Group. ]] Let's continue the discussion on the list.
