Alex,

Thanks for the pointer. It would seem that use of "mobile networks" in
the charter is not correct. Maybe this should be "device mobility" or
"mobile networking". This needs to capture the use case where it is
physical devices that are mobile, as opposed to virtual hosts moving
in network virtualization.
