Hi Sabine,

I also agree that we need to get in touch with PANRG. And really thanks for
your effort in introducing ALTO to PANRG and introducing PANRG to our WG!

I just talk about some of my thinking. "how do endpoints discover
trustworthy path properties?" can also be a basic question for ALTO. In my
opinion, this question should cover three pieces:

- Representation (which is like "How to connect" in your lightning talk
slides)
- Storage (which includes "When to connect" in your slides. Currently,
alto-calendar is about it)
- Requirements (rsa, fcs and incr-update-sse are related to it)

I think a lot of previous efforts of ALTO WG focused on the first topic.
But for the goal of PANRG and the future potential use cases, I think
providing the on-demand network information will be more helpful. So maybe
"how to define application requirements" is more important. The legacy ALTO
approach can only support the simple cross-product filter requirement. To
satisfy more requirements, we still need to make more efforts.

btw. Shall we involve some people from PANRG into our coming interim
meeting?

Best,
Jensen
