Re: Agenda for today's regular meeting

Thank you Amit

FIPA came up because there was an entry in the Interoperability Report, so
I looked into it
and found out some materials, which I shared

After some analysis, I realised that FIPA is no longer the state of the art
*have some research notes somewhere

So I am interested in exploring and understanding your approach, are these
resources you point to in the post linked in the report?
*if they are, apologies for missing them, or not reading them yet

Would like to hear more about how they integrate with the work being done
here *and apologies if this is obvious already
I am new here and trying to get the hang of things

Look forward to be learning more and wrapping my head around agents interop
