[cooperation-wg] IP Interconnection – expertise wanted - providing information to the European Institutions

Thanks Gordon,

"Whether the European Institutions would want to engage with us ? "

Guess it depends on what we have to offer - I happen to think we could
offer some valuable technical expertise :-)

But before we start inviting them over, I think it is up to us to pay them
a visit "hat in hand" so to say. Therefore it would be useful to know who
can paint a good picture on IP interconnection. And who knows  ... they
might actually find it very helpful :-)
