Re: [Autoconf] Fwd: WGLC for the AUTOCONF charter

[Carlos Jesús Bernardos Cano <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

I generally agree with the proposed charter, with the comment I
mentioned in the meeting:

- Opening the door for service discovery, in addition to address
autoconfiguration, might be a bit too much, especially given our
performance in the past.

Thanks,

Carlos
