Last time I looked, defining mechanisms for broadband Internet access is
*not* within the scope of the DHC WG charter. On the other hand, the IEEE
currently has an Ethernet First Mile (EFM) study group, as well as the
IEEE 802.1X revision group. So I would suggest that you are more likely to
have a fruitful discussion of your proposals by taking them to the IEEE.

It sounds like you would like to propose changes to the IEEE 802.1X
state machine. Since the IEEE 802.1X revision PAR is now active, that is
the best place to take such proposals. Making such proposals to the DHC 
WG is not likely to generate much forward movement.
