Dear Chafic, all: Thank you so much for sharing this update. I was quite interested in the outcomes of the WTDC, but wasn't able to follow so closely. So, I appreciate this. In case there's a longer write-up on RIPE Labs or something like that, please don't hesitate to share.
Keep up the good work! Best, -Michael __________________ Michael J.
