We need to settle on an agenda for the upcoming meeting. I think that
everything is progressing with our two drafts - Thanks to Gabriel for
making the last minute editorial fixes.
As I've mentioned on the list a number of times, we are finished with
the items in our charter - but certainly not finished with the work to
be done. If we are going to take on some new tasks we need to recharter
for those.
Here is the complete list of topics that have been suggested on this
list (in no particular order):
Neighbor Discovery and Secure Neighbor Discovery (proposed standard)
Stateful header compression (informational)
6lowpan applications (informational)
mesh routing (proposed standard)
Security analysis (informational)
bootstrapping
mobility
MIB definition
service discovery
scalable routing
commissioning
power saving schemes (beacons)
Architecture document
I see at least 2 very important topics that we need to finish -
* Neighbor Discovery for 6lowpan
* 6lowpan architecture document
Additionally, we need to reach some consensus on:
* Routing (scalable, mesh under, route over)
* Security
* bootstrapping/commissioning
Since we already have a draft (expired) for ND we should seriously
consider finishing this work. We are have a number of drafts (also
expired) and one not expired on routing alternatives.
I think that the main topic for the meeting is the rechartering, but I
think that it is extremely important that we talk with the Manet group
and understand if their work can apply to 6lowpans.
This understanding though may be based on the network architecture that
we are trying to build. This is why I think that we should start with
defining the 6lowpan arch.
Please provide input on this.
