And I'll have to disagree with the "25m subnets". I regularly deal with
line-of-sight radio links that are in excess of 25km. We can't limit
ourselves to short-range technologies (e.g. Commercial 802.11,
Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc). I don't believe a distance should be explicitly
stated in the charter, rather, some verbiage that talks about "radio
neighbors in range" should be sufficient.
