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
