Hi Carsten and Geoff,
We had an interesting discussion today in Anaheim on 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery (ND). As you know this has been a longstanding open item. We have some specific deadlines for the Smart Energy work. Specifically, we need resolution on the ND topic (with a final I-D generally agreed by the WG) within a 2 month timeframe. If we cannot achieve this in 6LoWPAN, then our commercial alliance will need to create a commercial specification around whatever is available and we believe could later map to an agreed solution. This is not optimal but in reality we simply cannot wait any longer for closure on ND. Could we ask for at least a finite decision on what exact parts of ND-08 or ND-simple will be part of the next round of ND drafts? Could we ask for an expedited process in resolving this somehow? Is there a way we could contribute to the ND resolution through our interoperability testing for Smart Energy if we end up moving forward before WG consensus? What I think we need is a schedule and some work assignments that would lead to resolution on this topic. There are several members of our group who would be willing to contribute if there is a plan in place to close this issue quickly. Thanks, Don Sturek Chair, ZigBee Alliance Core Stack Working Group (representing ZigBee IP)
