Hi all,
  It seems that the word bootstrapping has been used and overused in so many 
drafts (including draft-ohba-core-eap-based-bootstrapping and 
draft-garcia-core-security) and I suggest that we clarify this.

Colin had a draft on 
Initial Configuration of Resource-Constrained Devices
called draft-oflynn-6lowapp-bootstrapping submitted on Jan. 2010 in which he 
defined bootstrapping ashow to initially    configure the network.

Later on we continued this work on where Colin left 
indraft-sarikaya-core-sbootstrapping.

I think that the definition Colin gave to bootstrapping is the right one. It 
matches with the historical use of bootstrapping in computers: you bootstrap 
your computer to initially configure it by a physical action (pressing a button) 
which loads a small record to the memory which when executed bootstraps (brings 
the whole OS to the memory) the system.

Regards,

Behcet
