Re: [DMM] conclusion of adoption calls

[Thierry Ernst <[e-mail]>]

Hi Alex, all,

My understanding of what Jouni wrote is that it’s fine to work on MIP6 improvement, but the MIP4 can live its life as is, to which I totally agree. And I also agree with Alex that we need to fix bugs in MIP6 (and the related suite, in particular NEMO) and progress them in the standard track. It has been too long since we last work on those and now it is certainly right to do it. 

So, the question is if DMM is the right place or not to do the work, if not I would like to hear about alternatives within the IETF. 

Regards,
Thierry.
