[Iot-directorate] Question on IETF IOT-devices scope

["Chakrabarti, Samita" <[e-mail]>]

Hello All:

In pre-IETF IOT-DIRECTORATE meeting, Ted Lemon has pointed to two documents
regarding connecting the Thread Mesh networks to the traditional IP
Infrastructure:
1) (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lemon-stub-networks-ps/)  -
Problem Statement
2) https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lemon-stub-networks/         - A
possible solution

IoT-Directorate co-chairs and the responsible ADs would like to discuss if
it makes sense to extend the IOT-Directorate charter towards less
constrained devices such as some of the home devices considered as 'things'.

The charter of the directorate says : (
https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/iotdir/about/)

"The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to devices, that are often constrained
in communication and computation capabilities, now becoming more commonly
connected to the Internet, and various services that are built on top of
the capabilities these devices jointly provide. It is expected that this
development will usher in more machine-to-machine communication using the
Internet with no human user actively involved."

Should IoT-Directorate members consider Thread Mesh stub networks as one of
topics under IOT-DIR scope of discussion or part of IoT work?

Thanks,

-Samita
