Hi John and all,
many thanks.
Personally our research group is highly interested in work on adaptive
multicast in overlay and underlay.
Just to share some opinions on how to progress SAM RG, I believe
* we should have more meetings at IETFs, say at least 2 per year.
* we should enforce the work on documents - problems and solutions -
for hybrid multicast
* we should stimulate discussions and work on the API, general and
robust
enough to support a large variety of group communication
* we should take up or intensify interaction with related groups like
P2PSIP, ALTO, P2PRG, ...
There are quite some hot topics within the charter - it would be good
to take up some in Hiroshima.

Jeremy Mineweaser plans to step down as co-chair
of the RG due to changes in his responsibilities at
MIT Lincoln Labs which effect his ability to attend
IETF meetings and contribute to the work of the RG.
In seeking a new co-chair, the criteria Jeremy and I suggest
are: 1) ability to regularly participate in IETF meetings,
2) participation in past SAM RG meetings, 3) active
research in multicast protocols related to the SAM
charter, 4) enthusiasm for the work of the RG.
To that end Jeremy and I are pleased to recommend
Prof. Thomas Schmidt of Hamburg University to be
the new co-chair of the RG.
This is now an opportunity to discuss on the mailing list
the overall direction of the RG, how to increase the participation
and accelerate the progress towards completing the charter.
