Subject: [P2Prg] result of our little opinion+support poll

Hello all,

I have by now collected a total of 17 responses to the opinion/support poll for a distinct research track on mobile p2p aspects. Thank you for your participation! Forgive me for not having personally replied to each email (I may still do so later).

The answers can be split into three groups: Those who cannot wait to publish something, those who are supporting our case, and those that are "generally" interested.

Without hurting anyone here too much, it can probably be said that the first group is the one we should conservatively count in for the work to be done - still these are 11 people with highly interesting backgrounds from academic institutions and the industry. This looks like a promising mixture.

So we do indeed have, in my opinion, sufficient support for a dedicated research track inside of the main RG!

I hope that we will be able to really define a detailed research track that keeps everyone interested. This has also been part of the feedback I received: "more details, and there will be more support"...

That's it for the moment. Please let me find out more about how we can proceed formally. I will get in touch with Bill regarding this.

Have a nice weekend,
regards,

Frank-Uwe
