Hi all, 

I was informed about a potential patent application (authored by a
person from Huawei) that could potentially be related to one of our
drafts, namely:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dime-realm-based-redirect-02

The following pointer was provided to me: 
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP1830520.pdf

I have informed the draft authors some time ago and was hoping to see a
response through the IPR tracker tool. Unfortunately, I have not seen
anything.  

Before progressing the draft further within the DIME working group I
would like to determine whether there is still interest in the document
despite the potential patent application. 

Please drop a mail to the list if you think that we should still
progress the document and also a note if you think we shouldn't. 

Deadline: 23rd January 2010 (extended deadline because of the holidays)

Ciao
Hannes & Victor
