My take on this, for what it's worth, is that the work MIF is doing will be useful, but not central, to what you are trying to do.   MIF is focusing on what happens when all the interfaces are on at the same time, but we also want to enable the provision sufficient functionality that you can set up a connection manager that makes choices about which interfaces to keep alive when.

I am not _convinced_ that we need to do a lot of work in that space—we may be able to leverage work that IEEE has already done, for example, in which case our job would be filling in the gaps that IEEE has not already addressed, or getting IEEE to do it, whichever makes the most sense.

But the point is that I think you should probably be interested in what MIF is doing, but I suspect that the work MIF is doing is not crucial to the work you are doing.
