- Amity will look to see if they know of any targets in Jammu Kashmir.
- Answer appears to be no.

Bebo
Is wondering about a meeting of PingER collaborators with possible funding from the Internet Archive or possibly others. Also possibly seeking other sources of funding for PingER activities.
It is time to re-raise and discuss the talk for the Internet Archive, and what we might expect from them and how much effort it is to prepare, document and make the data available to the Archive. So far:
Les and Bebo visited the Internet Archive (IA, see https://archive.org/) and initiated a discussion on archiving PingER data (i.e. a mirror for SLAC) at the IA and also giving a talk on PingER at the IA.
- The IA responded with information on using an IA Python library to archive the data at the IA. Les responded with interest but lack of resources until mid-September at the earliest. Also maybe after giving a talk at IA there might be interest in collaborating from some of the attendees.
- The IA also responded pointing to a form to fill out for a request to give a talk at the IA.
- Les filled out the form.
- Les sent an email to the IA to make sure they had received the form and asking if anything else is required.
- IA suggested September, given the China meeting, this was missed.
NUST (Updated 7/24/2019)
IPv6 host at NUST:
Wajahat has requested Hasan to install PingER on an IPv6 host at NUST, Saqib has contacted Hasan to tell him where to find and upload the code. There is not a host name for the MA yet. Hopefully, this will be available by next month's meeting.
- 7/24/2019 Les emailed Wajahat with a request for an update.
- At the meeting Wajahat had asked the student to contact Saqib and get the information on energizing IPv6. Saqib provided the information, but the student could not access the URL (apparently the URLwas down). Wajahat was on leave and when he returned the internship had expired, so Wajahat is unsure what happened. Wajahat will start a new student next week and will set him on the IPv6 project.
Wajahat has 2 students, he will propose some PingER related projects to them. He says students do not appear to have much interest in Internet monitoring and getting funding is a major issue.
The recent move to revoke the special status of Jammu Kashmir may result in impacts on the Internet performance, so we are looking for PingER targets in JK.
