Hi, Transport Working Group,

On Monday evening (tomorrow) this is an ad hoc BoF, in
Salon 2/3.

As the AD who offered a room and encouragement,
I viewed this as having a number of interesting
technical points that are handled by existing protocols,
or that might pose generic requirements (not specific
only to the US military).

I also think it is of cross-area, cross-working group
interest, so please do pass on the notice, now that the
some papers and time/room info are available!

Thanks!

Allison
