i think there is the need for european multicast coordination. For example questions regarding pruning or administrativly scoped boundaries, .... I would suggest to keep at least the mailing list as a european forum for discussing problems regarding multicast deployment and operation.
How about integrating the multicast routing issues into the Routing-WG agenda ? And still, if there's some specific action item on multicast routing and/or Mbone coordination we could establish a task-force within the Routing-WG. And as Tiziana wrote, multicast routing should become a natural service in the european backbones, at least very soon.

Indeed, we're finally getting the protocols and implementations to do some more meaningful inter-provider multicast. Transitioning from the current tunnel/DVMRP infrastructure to this new native multicast network needs interaction between service providers, and RIPE is the ideal forum for this. Although a lot of interesting stuff is going on on the multicast applications level, I don't think RIPE is the place to spend time on this. Integrating these routing issues in the Routing-WG might help to keep focus. I absolutely think the interest of the community in this is still there. Kurt, at least we have an agenda topic for next meeting ;-) --- Thomas
