[iot-wg] [IoT WG Focus]

Hi Peter!

I think that's a great idea!

Indeed, finding overlaps and ways to collaborate with other WGs was one of
the ideas of the survey. I had posted it to the RIPE general mailing list
as well but have only gotten very few responses from non-members (Btw... 11
responses from IoT WG members -- also not quite the quota I had hoped we'd
be looking at...).

In the back of my head, opportunities to work together are still best
discussed in person over beverages, but I'd be happy to see IoT WG members
sharing the link on other WG lists to get some more feedback before RIPE 82
(and thus, possibly more ideas to be discussed in the slot Sandoche and I
saved for the results in the session agenda)!

Cheers!
Constanze
