Hi Geoff, I have an interest in working on mesh under discussion and vote yes to start discussion for it. Some L2 protocol defines the mesh routing protocol in its L2 specification, however some don't have (802.15.4 decided not having mesh routing in it, as you mentioned in last meeting.) For the L2 which doesn't have mesh routing, I believe we need to extend dispatcher for generic commands, carrier of mesh routing metrics, L2 address basis source routing etc. as route over works on ICMP. However, I'm afraid that I cannot write a draft up by the next IETF meeting unfortunately.
Besides, IEEE802.15.4e is going to finalize its specification and it will be done around end of this year. It has many optional MAC functionalities, which includes low energy which enables sleeping router. I'm looking forward to incorporate sleeping router functionality into 6lowpan. We still have many items to do in 6lowpan WG. Noriyuki Sato --- OKI Electric Industry Co., Ltd.

There has been little or no discussion on our mailing list since the last IETF meeting. Hopefully the ND and HC drafts are basically complete. The Use Case and Routing Requirements drafts are moving forward. At the last meeting the other topic that seemed to have some traction in the WG was working on other header compression techniques. We have two different drafts on this topic: Carsten's generic header compression and Colin's ICMP header compression. The other topic that hotly discussed atwas whether the group should work on Mesh Under. Again we have had no discussion on our list about any of these topics. Besides the drafts from Carsten and Colin, we have had another draft on global address compression. The meta topic we need to discuss both at the meeting and on this list - Should we call it quits or should we recharter?
