Subject: Re: [nmrg] Call for contributions - NMRG Session 2 at IETF 106 / Singapore / November 2019

From: Jérôme François <[email-masked]>

Dear all,

In addition to regular NMRG session, we propose to have a side meeting on the AI 
topic in NMRG similarly to what have been done in IETF 104.
The aim is to continue on identifying challenges as we started to do last time 
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/104/materials/slides-104-nmrg-sessa-ai-for-nm-01.pdf).

If you are intersted,  please fill out the following doodle (we'll use one of the 
morning slot at 8:30)

Best regards
NMRG chairs
