Welcome to the SAM (Scalable Adaptive Multicast) RG
of the IRTF!

The web sites describing this activity are:
   www.irtf.org/samrg
   www.samrg.org

Many individuals participated in the discussions
and planning for launching this RG. Draft charters
for RGs on XCAST and Small Group Multicast were
earlier vintages.  On behalf of the RG, we would
like to acknowledge those who advised us along 
the way, including:  Aaron Falk, Lixia Zhang, 
Bobby Bhattacharjee, Scott Bradner, Allison 
Mankin, Henning Schulzrinne, Mark Pullen, and 
Colin Perkins.   Thank you for helping shape 
a research agenda which we hope will have a big 
impact.

We would also like to recognize the efforts
of the XCAST community in initiating much of the
discussion and planning that led to this point,
including Yuji Imai, Rick Bovie, Eiichi Muramoto,
Chih-Chang Hsu, Jiwoong Lee and Ali Boudani.
Please see the XCAST site for more details
