FYI, from the Grid High Performance Networking Research Group

From: "Franco Travostino" <franco.travostino@gmail.com> Sender: <owner-ghpn-wg@ggf.org> To: <ghpn-wg@gridforum.org> Cc: <telco-cg@ggf.org> Reply-To: <travos@ieee.org>

In Athens, the GHPN-RG will use two sessions. The first session focuses on recent developments that directly related to GHPN drafts. The last ~30 minutes of the first session are reserved for short presentations on efforts with GHPN relevance and within GHPN scope --- e.g., new initiatives, draft proposals, ideas for new RG/WGs, specific Grid network services. If you wish to present, please send an abstract of your material to the chairs and/or this list.

The second session (organized by GRNET) gives us a unique opportunity to hear from advanced Grid Networks projects and their stance on a standardization roadmap.

I cross-post to the Telco Community Group as a FYI.
