Re: [coman] [6lo] WG Review: IPv6 over Networks of Resource-constrained Nodes (6lo)

Hi Ulrich,

I believe that this proposal is even more vague. According to Juergen, the scope is specifically on a subset of the management solution specifically written in SMIv2. I believe that this subset (which may be what the operators need in a first phase) should be exactly described in the charter. A discussion broader discussion about a full management solution, or the management of constrained networks in general should happen separately in this WG or someplace else.

Regards,

Dan
