RE: Plans for GELS work in CCAMP

["Diego Caviglia (GA/ERI)" <diego.caviglia@ericsson.com>]

Hi Adrian hi Deborah,
                     I think that this is a very good way to proceed I also think the people in the DT are the right ones.

I'd like to contribute this work so DT guys please fill free to contact me.

Best Regards

Diego
