Hi Geoff, Please see in-line.
> > Taking into account the above work items, if any of the authors are > interested in presenting their drafts at this next IETF, please let > Carsten or I know soon. Regarding the 6lowpan-nd draft, we had a presentation at the Chicago IETF and received comments. We requested for working group approval at that time, but I was asked to wait for the architecture document. I had updated the 6lowpan wiki based on architectural assumptions that 6lowpan-nd draft makes. If anyone has any comments on the topology assumptions, that would be helpful. For example, should we stick to the hierarchical topology as depicted in the IEEE802.15.4 doc? Or should 6lowpan-nd goal be to also support a small mesh-network (not only hierarchical mesh as it discusses now)? I had a request from Jim Bound to think about that option as well. So far, there is no plan for presentation of this draft in this IETF. But comments through Wiki or mailing list would be really helpful. > > I do hope that we will dust off the ND and security analysis drafts. draft-chakrabarti-6lowpan-ipv6-nd version 04 has just been submitted. The changes are very minimal from 03 currently; it addresses some editorial comments from Dave Thaler. We are working on discussing off-line addressing Dave's techical comments. There will be another revision of the draft before the Philadelphia IETF. Besides, if bootstrapping is added as part of that draft, then this draft will need more update.
