Re: [6lowpan] A suggestion ... With regards to re-chartering

[Geoff Mulligan <[e-mail]>]

Jonathan,
  We have the ID for routing requirements.  Could this, or a portion of
it, be the starting point for the L2 meshing (mehs under) requirements
document.

I've been thinking about the Routing Requirements doc.  Should 6lowpan
generate a ID that is a WG doc for use by ROLL as requirements for Route
Over or should we (members of 6lowpan) just make sure that the current
drafts within roll address our needs and concerns and the the Routing
Requirements draft should instead be focused on mesh under.
