(6) to develop a longer term perspective on the impact of GAIA research group findings on the standardization efforts at the IETF. This could include recommendations to protocol designers and architects. GAIA has so far organized two workshops where researchers and practitioners have presented research on Internet access for all. - presentations from the first workshop: https://sites . google . com/site/irtfgaia/home/gaia-ko - presentations from the second workshop: https://sites . google . com/site/irtfgaia/home/gaia-2 The 3rd workshop will co-located with ACM DEV 5 on December 4th, 2014 at the Hilton San Jose hotel in San Jose, California.
