I thik that these are astute observations. I really enjoyed the RIPE79 (Rotterdam) IoT hackathon. I think that there are interesting operational things that RIPE IoT WG could have deeper converations about. There will be a grandchild-of-HOMENET effo= rt at the IETF that might get called SNAC. It would be interesting to me to do some kind of *interop* testing of IoT systems and ISP systems. > As a WG chair I would focus working on connecting the ongoing > activities to form technical standards and reference implementations > for easy adoption by the industry.

This kind of promotion of new open source systems and open-stand.org (standards) is really important to me as well. -- Michael Richardson <mcr+IETF@sandelman.ca>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
