A new IRTF research group on Information-Centric Networking has been chartered:

 Distributing and manipulating named information is a major application
 in the Internet today. Information-centric networking (ICN) is an approach
 to evolve the Internet infrastructure to directly support this use by
 introducing uniquely named data as a core Internet principle. The ICNRG
 provides a forum for the exchange and analysis of ICN research ideas and
 proposals; work that is based on implementation experiences is given
 preference.

Charter and participation information can be found at http://irtf.org/icnrg

IRTF Chair
