Daniel,
  I don't understand what you are saying.

What do you mean "this deliverable"?  What deliverable, "layer 2 mesh"?
Never were we chartered to define a Proposed Standard for layer 2
meshing".  If that is what you are saying, then I agree.  As originally
chartered we were not to write a proposed standard for layer 2 mesh.  I
stated in my message, as stated in the original charter, that the WG
might look at layer 2 routing (mesh under) alternatives, such as those
available from manet or 802.15.5.

I don't think that I mis-interpreted our original charter.  If you read
the WG documents they represent the concept of mesh under (layer 2
routing) and not routing over IP, but either way, it was very clear that
routing protocols were never intended to be a part of 6lowpan work.

I know that 15.5 is working on Layer 2 meshing and the working group
should look at that as well as the other proposals that are consistent
with MANET.
