[Iccrg] PFLDNeT and ICCRG meeting

[Michael Welzl]

Dear all,

I would like to remind you of this opportunity for submitting a paper.

At the same time, I'd like to give an update on upcoming ICCRG meetings:
- we will not meet at the upcoming Beijing IETF
- we will, as announced previously and below, meet at this workshop.  
If you have something you'd like to present at this meeting, send me  
and Wes an email please, stating the title and expected duration of  
your talk.

Cheers,
Michael
