Dear NMRG subscribers,

In a previous message, we requested the subscribers of this NMRG mailing list to inform about topics of interest to be discussed in future NMRG meetings. Thanks for those that replied that message! 

The planned meetings are:

- NMRG (interim) meeting during NOMS 2016, Istambul, Apr. 2016
. This meeting has the goal of bridging the research community and NMRG. As such, it will encompass topics also covered in NOMS. In a next message we will send the first call for contributions
. Because IETF 95 (Buenos Aires) and NOMS 2016 are close to each other, we will not organize an NMRG meeting during IETF 95

- NMRG meeting during IETF 96, Berlin, Jul. 2016
. In July, during IETF 96, we plan to organize a joint meeting between NMRG and NFVRG and/or SDNRG. That will depend on the interest of NFVRG/SDNRG as research groups, but we expend to succeed because both NFV and SDN have several challenges in terms of management that fall in the scope of NMRG.

- NMRG meeting during IETF 97, Seoul, Nov. 2016
. Depending on the outcomes of previous meeting, we may have a topic-specific NMRG meeting in Seoul, or a meeting that covers several aspects too. That depends on how the previous meetings will evolve. 

As we mentioned before, please provide your feedback and ideas about this plan. We want to improve the participation of all on the NMRG decisions. Your opinion is extremely important.

Best regards,

Laurent and Lisandro
