Great question. One clear and easy answer is that this is meant to be an IRTF group rather than an IETF group, so with more of a focus on identifying long-term research issues (that are of interest to the IETF community) rather than on forming standards. We think there is a need for an IRTF-lens to draw clear boundaries, identify overlaps, and connect interfaces across architectures (e.g., Bundle Protocol/IP), different variants the space domain (LEO/DeepSpace), phenomena (Delay/Disruptions down to relativistic effects), and entities (IETF, CCSDS, IOAG, but also the private players in the space, like Starlink).

That said, the meeting is really to figure out what the community thinks there is a need for, and indeed, whether there is a need for something like this. Why not come to the meeting (virtually or in person) to provide your views and inputs on things we could/should do? Of course, appreciate that the Bangkok timezone may not work out for some, but if we manage to get this going, we are hoping to have regular activities in other IETF meetings which will be in other time zones.

How will this be different from the tiptop (formerly deepspace) ietf group?
