The IETF has made great strides in recent years with MeetEcho, etc. But no > doubt more can be done, and now we have an additional very good reason to do so. I have just started a thread to discuss the existing drafts on remote hubs and to see what we need to do revise, throw away & start over, etc. on VMEET. The drafts are: main, Latin America & India. https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-elkins-ietf-remote-hubs-00.html https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-oflaherty-ietf-remote-hubs-lac-00 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-hegde-remote-hubs-india-01 They are very much work in progress so my feelings will not be hurt at all if we want to start over. I am volunteering to help with any such effort. BTW, I have put some feelers out to people about starting a Silicon Valley remote hub. (That is my local region.) I think it may be a good thing to have before Prague. If anyone would like to help with a Silicon Valley hub, please contact me unicast. Nalini
