Hello,

You are receiving this message because you either are a member of the Network Coding Research Group (nwcrg) mailing list or have expressed an interest in participating in this group.  Victor Firoiu and I  have posted an initial description and objectives Wiki page at http://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/irtf/trac/wiki/nwcrg.  Your comments and input to this are welcome!

The objective of the Network Coding (NWC) Research Group is to research NWC principles and methods that can benefit Internet communication. One goal of the NWCRG is to gather the research results and posit the open questions related to NWC in order to develop practical applications of NWC that improve Internet communication. Another goal is to gather information on the existing practical implementations of NWC, distill common functionalities and propose a path to standardization of NWC-enabled communication.

If you are not yet a member of the nwcrg mailing list, you can join it at https://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/nwcrg.  Or, for your convenience, Victor or I will register you  if you simply respond to this email wishing to be added.  We would like to get a dialog going on the mailing list regarding the Research Group formation and objectives.

Per the subject of this email, we have an opportunity to request a meeting space and time slot at the upcoming IETF 86, March 10-15, 2013, in Orlando, Florida.  It would be useful to get some indication regarding your interest and ability to attend to justify using the IRTF / IETF meeting resource.  This initial meeting would focus on refinement of the research group objectives and plans.  Additional information regarding the IETF meeting venue is available at http://www.ietf.org.

IMPORTANT: We need to make a request for a meeting slot within this next week, so your immediate feedback is required.

Please forward this note to any additional interested parties you may know.

best regards,
