Slide 5

TAC conclusions NREN’s interest in lower-layer research (Lyngby GA)› A general request for having a neutral and open information exchange place where results and discussion are facilitated› As we had earlier, but TF-NGN suffered a severe form of “GEANT2 monopolisation”

› Too early for entering in the area of “working together” on a few common projects?› Probably not, but lacking the community to make this happen

› Start with workshop organisation and e-support (mailing list?)› To regain contact with relevant communities and identify issues with sufficiently large take-up

› Not ready for a TF-like activity now› But clearly working towards this goal and taking up issues as we go
