Is there a reason that this draft restricts itself to a subset of the currently defined PHYs in 802.15.4? As written, it refers only to the DSSS PHYs. There are currently 2 additional PHYs defined in the standard (802.15.4a-2007), and there are two more amendments nearing completion that define additional PHYs. I don't see any applications in these scenarios that require this restriction. Asset tracking, for example, is a likely application of the UWB PHYs (due to precision ranging, thus location, capability :-). The other PHYs have characteristics useful in some of these scenarios also. Is there a reason for limiting LoWPAN application to specific PHYs or is this just out of date text?

Also, a typo in References [3]: "802.15.4-2006, October 2003" of course 15.4-2006 was not published in 2003 :0). 802.15.4-2006 alone is not the current version of the standard (802.15.4a-2007 was approved early 2007). A safer thing is to site "802.15.4-2006 as amended" unless there is some reason to be restrictive (in which case that reason should be explained in the text).

Hi all,

I am also in favor.

Hi Geoff,

As you mentioned, the Use Cases document has been stable for quite
some time, and it has sparked a lot of interest.
I am therefore "in favor of" Working Group adoption.

Greetings,
Dominik

JP,
  That was a mistake.  I followed it up with a message to the list
asking
for responses on whether the document should become a WG doc.

Please folks on the 6lowpan list respond and let us know if you think
the
Use Case document is ready to become a WG draft.

Hi Geoff,

In another email you wrote:

"
Jonathan please submit your draft draft-hui-6lowpan-hc-01
Eunsook please also submit your draft draft-ekim-6lowpan-scenarios-03"

Is the second ID adopted as a WG (since below you asked for feed-back)
?

Thanks.

JP.

Are you "in favor of" or "opposed to" adopting
draft-ekim-6lowpan-scenarios-03
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ekim-6lowpan-scenarios-03.txt)
as a 6lowpan Working Group Document?

        Thanks,
