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

I basically agree with Pascal.  I think that we have a good start on
items 1, 3 and 5.  As for security we have a commitment from Shouichi
and Robert to take the draft from Daniel and complete it.

I think that we should move forward with HC1g as part of the 4944
improvement and maintenance.
