[Attendee] R & E BoF on Wednesday?

I know that there are some R&E/Higher Ed attendees in our midst at NANOG 58, and some folks have already approached me to talk about a possible informal BoF for the R&E community (open to all, of course). I think we may be able to schedule something on Wednesday, and I will discuss it with the NANOG folks. The main meta-topic will be to brainstorm ways in which the R&E community can utilize NANOG and other conferences to make up for the reduction in Joint Techs meetings. We can also discuss other, more technical, topics that are burning in our arena right now. If you are interested, please email me directly and let me know if you would be able to attend a BoF on Wednesday. thanks, michael
