Hi Eunah,

About deleting R17, which looked like this:

  [R17] In case there are one or more nodes allocated to coordinator
  roles, the coordinators MAY take the role of keeping track of node
  association and de-association within the LoWPAN.

There is already a list of device types and roles in the draft, but it
does not include a coordinator type... so, in my opinion, either we
add a coordinator type (if that exists in reality), or we delete R17.

Greetings,
Dominik
