Hi Alper,

You have mentioned this several times, but you haven't provided any specifics.  What do you think is missing from the PCP-specific approach, as document, that would need to be added to make it a "working" and "compliant" EAP lower layer?  Is there an RFC that specifies the requirements that the PCP-Specific approach is failing to meet?
