Can you be more specific? Apparently there is some misunderstanding. There
are two parts in this discussion. One part is polemic, another part is
non-polemic:

(1) the non-polemic part is about the *physical connectivity* that is
experienced on networks tackled by MANET, ROLL, 6Lo and a slew of other
working groups in this domain. This physical connectivity is pretty well
described in the draft, and I think it should be easy to get consensus on
that, with minimal changes.

(2) the polemic part is about what link model / architecture /solution
applies best to such physical connectivity. This discussion, as well as
previous discussions in AUTOCONF, show that it is not trivial to agree on
something.

However: the chances of agreeing on a solution for (2) are significantly
lower if (1) has not concluded with a clear documentation of the *beast* to
be tamed.

This is why a document such as the draft discussed -- which addresses only
the *non-polemic* part of the discussion -- would be useful.
Do you disagree with the above? If so, why? This is unclear.

Best,

Emmanuel
